What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 4

ShockGrabs and pinsPoison and gasSwarmsHeat

Electrophorus — Shocks you in the water, which stops you swimming and stops you fighting back until it ends.
Never enter water that has one in it on foot — the shock lasts long enough to drown you.
Desmodus — Grabs a survivor and drains health; it also disables your own creature's abilities nearby.
Leech — Attaches and drains health, and can give Swamp Fever.
Burn it off at a Campfire or use Sweet Vegetable Cake; it will not detach otherwise.
Onyc — Attacks in numbers, drains stamina, and is small enough that most mounts cannot hit it.
A shotgun, or a pike on foot. They path erratically, so aimed single shots waste ammunition.

Not a threat: Meganeura
