Greyling

Forest Monsters
What to know

Greyling has 20 health and spawns in the Meadows.

It takes extra damage from fire; it resists poison; spirit does nothing to it at all. Blunt, slash and pierce land at full damage, so that is what to bring.

It has one attack, 5 slash.

Of everything craftable, Staff of Embers, Frostfire Crossbow and Thunderblood Crossbow put the most damage through what it resists.

It always drops Resin.

About

Greyling is the Meadows member of the Greydwarf family, with 20 health and one attack, a 5 slash scratch every 2 seconds inside 1.2 meters. It carries the same profile as its larger relatives, very weak to fire, resistant to poison and immune to spirit, but it has no ranged attack and dies to a single hit from most weapons. Its entire drop table is one guaranteed Resin, no trophy and nothing else, which makes clearing them the cheapest way to keep torches burning early on.

Fighting it

Fire is their terror: they take double damage from it and a swing of a torch sends them scattering. Any weapon kills them in a hit or two.

Scratch5 slash damage in a short arc, every 2 seconds.

Each 64 m zone keeps its own timer per entry and rolls the chance once per interval while loaded; a zone never loaded before rolls the moment you arrive. The spawn lands 40 to 80 m from a player, never inside a base unless noted, and "max near you" counts the loaded area around that zone. Dungeon and camp spawners are separate and not counted here.

Spawn command
