Great Hopper

Hunter's Journal


Leaps around the edge of the world, trying to crush their prey beneath its body.

'' A worthy foe, surprisingly nimble for its size. Either keep your distance, or try to dance between its hops and strike at its legs.''

Behaviour and Tactics
These massive, tough foes attack by jumping on their enemies. Unlike normal Hoppers, Great Hoppers will change direction to chase the player. Weaving between their jumps and attacking when you have a chance is the primary way to avoid their attacks.

Whenever possible, try to attack these Hoppers from spots where they cannot reach you. They are quite large, and most of the areas they spawn in are separated with narrow passageways.

Trivia
In a Kickstarter update they are referred to as "Greater Susking Hoppod":

"An overgrown bloodsucker that will patiently stalk its prey until it finds the right time to strike."
