Woot, I encountered my first Grubber. Unfortunately I was in Fel on my thief which is built for being dastardly and not for fighting so it took a bit to kill it but it wasn't that bad. Here's what I noticed...
- Loads of health and good regeneration rate, keep him poisoned
- Minimal attack damage, I think he hit me for 1 damage a few times
- He runs! Seriously, he runs away from you as you fight him so make sure you "guide" him in a direction you want to go
- Can hold chests of things, he had a chest with more items than I could carry(660 stone), but it was all junk
- His running isn't random, it's directly away from you so position yourself accordingly
Definitely worth killing but focus on the stuff that drops first, this guy was still in the woods a screen west about 5 minutes later... they don't run like mad until attacked. I kinda like the little buggers, it wasn't too hard to guide him away from the idoc fighting since he kept running from me even when I stealthed a bit.
