Cabin Boy

The Cabin Boy is an enemy found in The Shroud in Darkest Dungeon II.

Description
The Cabin Boy is a monster from the Fisherfolk faction and is found when traveling through The Shroud during road battle or Resistance Encounters.

The Cabin Boy is the abject result of the bond between humanity and horrors from the deep. A frail medusa carrying a human fetus, this abomination is close to give birth to more monsters of the shore. Beware, as the newborns carry the mutations their surrogate mother blessed them with.

The Cabin Boy is a relatively harmless yet very dangerous foe of the Shroud, granting itself various buffs before hatching and turning into any of the Fisherfolks enemies, from the simple Wharf Rat to threatening Docker.

Strategy
Out of all the enemies specific to The Shroud, the Cabin Boy is probably one of the most dangerous to face despite its low health pool. Being able to spawn any Fisherfolk monster, what can be a fast victory may quickly turn into an exhausting fight if a Docker, Captain or Fish Monger spawns, along with the buffs applied by Unstable Incubation. Above all else, the Cabin Boy should be your top priority when facing Fisherfolks.
