Corpse Creeper

Hunter's Journal


Parasitic beast that controls the body of its host after the host's death.



''The beasts of this land have found plenty of ingenious hiding places, but none so clever as the body of another creature! If you happen on such a beast, rejoice! You've hunted two creatures at once!''

Behaviour and Tactics
Whenever a Husk Hornhead or Wandering Husk is killed within the Deepnest, there is a chance they reanimate as Corpse Creepers. This is signalled by the legs of the corpse twitching a few seconds after death.

Once they reanimate, they charge at the player very quickly, even climbing up walls.

Great Slash helps getting rid of them easily. Once the corpse starts twitching, start charging up the Nail Art and strike as soon as it starts running.

Trivia

 * An easy way to tell if the husk will turn into a Corpse Creeper is by using the Dream Nail on it. Corpses of defeated enemies will not have any Dream Nail dialogue, however Corpse Creepers will do, even before the twitching starts.
