Gander

The Gander is one of the enemy creatures found in darkest dungeon II.

Description
The Gander is an Animal/Cadaver enemy encountered only in the Creature Den, and can be considered the "elite" version of Rabid Gnasher.

Once the trusted companion and friend to the Lost Battalion, the Gander found it's way to the Creature Den once it's regiment fell victim to the curses of the cult. It shares many similarities with the Rabid Gnasher, likely being part of the same species. The Gander however is a stronger version of the Gnasher, not only from the armor it wears, but from it's military training as well; because of this, the Gander takes the role of the Alpha of the pack of Gnashers within the den.

Trough the training that it received by the battalion, it has learned to be a killing machine of great efficacy. It's razor sharp teeth will tare the flesh from bone and cause it's target to Bleed. It's trained mobility and strength allows it to strike a single target heavily or deliver multiple, weaker bites to multiple Heroes at once, that can draw Blood just as well. Under the Gander's leadership, the Rabid Gnashers have adapted to work better as a pack, becoming significantly deadlier in the presence of their Alpha.

Even outside physical attacks, the Gander has the means to incapacitate it's targets; the hollow cries of the creature will chill the bones of even the toughest of heroes, Stressing and  Disorienting them, exposing them for follow-up attacks from it or it's allies.
