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.

Carrion Devourer (Worm)

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.
