Burrowers are one of the tougher creatures lurking in Underrail.

Description

“It's one nasty creature that digs around, laying eggs all over the place. They are more numerous deeper underground, but you can still find a few roaming the Lower Underrail and the surrounding caves. If you meet one, be careful. It will spit tick hard spines at you that are coated with poison. ”

—Quinton

They come in two main varieties, adult burrowers and burrower spawn.

Burrower

Burrowers in their natural habitat.

Adult burrowers. Real mean creatures. Tough carapace, dangerous attacks and ability to summon spawn.

They defend themselves by spitting poisonous thorns and they also lay eggs, which will burst into burrower spawn surprisingly quickly.

They may drop Burrower Poison Glands and Insectoid Salivariums as loot.

Spawn

Burrower spawn are smaller, young burrowers. Nowhere nearly as dangerous as fully-grown burrowers, but they tend to appear in groups.

They can only attack in melee, dealing mechanical damage, and their attacks aren't terribly damaging. They literally just bite your ankles.

They rarely drop Insectoid Salivariums as loot.

Hives

Burrowers seem to be territorial creatures and they form large hives filled with burrower eggs in suitable caverns.

If you encounter clusters of bright red eggs, beware. You have located a burrower hive, and burrowers are close by.

Such hives can be found in the GMS compound and Abandoned Building.
