Characteristics

Sluggernauts are unusual flea-like creatures with yellow and purple bodies that love to dance. They are able to perform a variety of dances for different effects in battle, such as trying to get opponents to dance with them, draining magic power, sending parties of adventurers into a state of confusion, or even sacrificing themselves to fully restore and revive their fellow monsters.
