Enemies

Basic: Hollowed

All basic enemies will likely be simple black creatures with minor variations depending on the environment. For all of these, they will be small, black creatures with green eyes. They might have small flora or fauna attached to them.

• Sprouts: Melee, occasionally dash.
• Burrowers: Hidden, but leave a trail when burrowing. Burst from the ground when near a player.
• Rootling Watchers: Stationary enemies that fire seed-like projectiles.
