How it fights
The skitter is a small, fast crawler: 2.5 tiles a second on floor 1, 60% of the Warrior’s 4.2 and the fastest thing in the Bell Crypts, so skitters reach you before the husks behind them. With 9 HP on floor 1 it dies to any single basic swing (12–18 damage each), but it is still in the waves at floor 15, where it has 33 HP. An elite with the Brood power bursts into 3 skitters when it dies.

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