How it fights

The lidbearer carries a coffin lid. A hit on its front 120° lets only 30% of the damage through (you hear a clank); from the sides or behind it takes the full hit. It turns slowly and walks at only 0.85 tiles a second, so circling it to strike its side or back is easy. At most 6 are alive at once. It is the Drowned Ossuary’s heavy hitter: base bite 6, the band’s highest HP.

Base HP: 46
Base bite: 6
Bites at most every: 1.25 s
Base speed: 0.85 tiles/s
Body radius: 0.38 tiles
XP: 6 (elite 30)
Coin chance: 60%
Item drop chance: 12% × the floor’s loot

Floor by floor

The same lidbearer gets tougher each floor: the floor multiplies its HP, bite and speed. An elite lidbearer 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 lidbearer.
