Characteristics

Slippery stylish fiends, sluggernauts love to dance, toe tapping to a beat only they can hear throughout any fight. So catchy are their grooving moves, that adventures just can't help but distractedly dance to the same soundless song that they do. With a clashing yellow and purple skintone, these monsters even look like they're out in their own unique sly style.
