How it fights
The gloamveil shields its pack. A violet ring 3.5 tiles round it is drawn on the ground, with motes drifting along it, and every other monster inside the ring takes only 50% of each hit. The other half is not lost: it comes off the gloamveil’s own life (it never drops below 1 that way), so hitting the pack wears the gloamveil down slowly and killing it drops the ring at once. It keeps back, retreating from a hero nearer than 3 tiles, and bites for only 18 on floor 31. The answer is to reach it first (773 HP on floor 31, 43–65 basic swings) or pull the pack out of its ring. It pays the most of the deep kinds, an item 15% of the time before the floor’s loot multiplier. At most 2 are alive at once, and an open area’s pack holds one at most.

Floor by floor
The same gloamveil gets tougher each floor: the floor multiplies its HP, bite and speed. An elite gloamveil has 3× the HP, gives 5× the XP and always drops at least a magic item plus 5 coins. “Share of waves” is the part of the floor’s wave monsters that roll as a gloamveil.
| Floor | HP | Elite HP | Bite | Speed | Share of waves | Item drop |

| 31* | 773 | 2319 | 18 | 1.33 | 3.8% | 67.7% |
| 35 boss* | 995 | 2985 | 21 | 1.33 | 5.1% | 82.4% |
| 40 boss* | 1363 | 4089 | 27 | 1.33 | 6.7% | 105.0% |

* Floors past 30 are not written out in the game’s tables: their numbers are the engine’s own extrapolation from floor 30. HP and bite keep the growth every floor from 6 has: ×1.065 HP and ×1.045 bite a floor, compounding.
