Rabid Gnasher (Darkest Dungeon II)

The Rabid Gnasher is an enemy found in Darkest Dungeon II.

Description
The Rabid Gnasher is an animal monster encountered only in the Creature Den.

Men and beasts alike fell victim to the plagues and disasters of the apocalypse. Such was the case too for the poor dogs, wild or domesticated, that are now known as Gnashers. Little more than reanimated corpses, they shamble on, acting on pure instinct and aggression. Their decrepit state would suggest they no longer need to feed, as what's left of their digestive tract hangs visibly out of their bodies. What keeps them alive is a mystery, though it may be tied to the curse cast upon the soldiers of the Lost Battalion; at the very least, the Gnashers bare a striking resemblance to the Gander, making the correlation plausible.

Despite their flesh rotting away, it seems what's left of their muscles is enough for them to be just as vigorous and quick as they were in life. Their jaws remain strong enough to pull the heroes from the backline and towards it's pack, from where they can easily maul them down. With each attack, Gnashers will move around the battlefield, while also scanning for threats and preparing to dodge any incoming attack. Finally, even as their teeth have lost their sharp edges, they remain ragged enough to pierce the skin and inflict their victim with Rabies.

It is unsure why the Gnashers are not hostile towards the living inhabitants of the Creature Den; presumably, there is a kind of symbiotic relationship that developed between the beasts, both living and undead.
