SnareFlankerLANDVERTICALfeygremlin
The "towering" hunchbacked nuglubs are among the largest gremlins, though they're not quite three feet tall. Nuglubs have three glowing blue eyes and black, oily hair on their head and back that covers them like a cloak. Nuglubs enjoy killing with a glee that other gremlins reserve for sabotage. Indeed, they spend long hours preparing ambushes for unwary travelers or plotting the murders of sleeping villagers. Though less technically inclined than their kin, nuglubs do enjoy building traps.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA durable frontline body absorbs Reactive Strikes while this skirmisher grabs and shoves stragglers out of formation.
CrasherLAND / VERTICALA heavy alpha striker capitalizes on the bonus damage this creature's shoves and grabs create against Prone or displaced targets.
ShadeLAND / VERTICALA stealthy ambusher can slip in unseen while this creature's climb speed and mobility keep the party's attention divided between two elevations.
PUNISHES
✖ melee reliance✖ clumped front-liners✖ prone/knockdown stacking
Avoid stacking with another grab-focused controller; both competing to hold the same target wastes actions.
