Darkspore Developer Blog: Enemies

A new Maxis developer blog penned by Michael Arsers heads to the surface of the planet and highlights three of the first creatures you’re likely to meet in Nocturna.

The Carrion Shambler is a particularly nasty inhabitant of Nocturna. He’s a hulking figure on the battlefield that can deal serious damage with his giant, club-like fists. However, like all lieutenant-class Darkspore, he can do more than simply attack your heroes. His most sinister ability allows him to consume the corpses of fallen Darkspore. This act buffs his natural abilities, making him larger and stronger for each body consumed. As you destroy the minions of the forest, you are quite literally feeding the Shambler’s power. Around the studio, we’ve nicknamed this baddie (Munch).
