Creature Den

"Ahead, a bestial refuge, littered with bones and... less identifiable remains."

- The Academic

The Creature Den is a Node in Darkest Dungeon II.

Description
The Creature Den is a combat encounter consisting of a two-wave battle against a variety of Creature enemies. Unlike in Lairs, the party will not automatically heal in between waves, nor will their cooldowns be reset; that is to say, the Creature Den is a single continuous battle against eight enemies.

Appearance

 * Creature Dens are guaranteed to appear in The Foetor and The Tangle.
 * They may appear in the other regions, but this is not guaranteed.
 * The "Exterminate" region goal guarantees that a Creature Den will appear.
 * The "Outpost" region modifier increases the chance for Creature Dens to appear by 100%.
 * The "Big Game" region modifier increases the chance for Creature Dens to appear by 200% and grants 100% scouting chance for Creature Dens.

Enemies
The following Enemies may appear in a Creature Den:
 * Carrion Devourer (Worm)
 * Carrion Eater (Worm)
 * Gander
 * Rabid Gnasher (Dog)
 * Spitter (Spider)
 * Webber (Spider)

Rewards
Upon clearing the Creature Den, the player will receive one of the following Animal Parts, which must be delivered to the Inn for a reward. The particular Animal Part is determined by the enemies fought in the second wave of the battle. Note that the game does not count the Gander as a dog in this context.

Trivia

 * With the exception of the Gander and the Carrion Devourer, all Creature Den enemies can be found in the first Darkest Dungeon game.
