Spitter
Hostile Creature
Overview
Spitters are specialized ranged predators that have evolved to produce and launch highly corrosive acid projectiles at their prey. These creatures maintain a safe distance from targets, making them frustrating opponents for melee-focused players. Their acid attacks not only deal direct damage but also corrode armor durability, requiring frequent repairs after encounters. Spitters are commonly found in toxic environments where their acid resistance gives them a natural advantage. The acid glands they drop are essential for crafting chemical weapons and corrosive ammunition. Their tendency to retreat while attacking makes them challenging but manageable threats.
