Dauntless [And, NS, PC, PS4, XBO] – Thrax / Slayer

tiotioteMedia: video game: “Dauntless”
Developer: Phoenix Labs, Iron Galaxy
Platform: Android, Computer, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Description: 

Thrax is a large, purple worm-like behemoth that can be fought as the final behemoth in the Umbral Escalation (10-50) and will only appear if the participating players perform well enough in that run to achieve an escalation level of 40 or greater by the end of the fourth battle.

Thrax has an infrequently used attack only during its ‘enraged’ state, in which it will open its mouth wide and lunge at a slayer. If the slayer fails to dodge, it will grab that slayer in its jaws, throw its head back and swallow them, with a large bulge going down its throat and stomach. It will then jump and shift side-to-side, as if the swallowed slayer inside is struggling, who appears to receive digestion damage. A teammate can free the swallowed slayer by dealing enough damage, otherwise, after some time, Thrax will regurgitate the slayer on its own, in a pool of bright pink stomach acid.
