Dungeon Crawler Carl

Summary spoilers for the whole series

A level 15 Borough Boss on the First Floor: dozens of Tuskling aristocrats of the Orcish Supremacy fused into one rolling sphere nearly fifteen feet across, running along grooved tracks in a round arena while shifting walls steer it at the crawlers. Carl's group wedged it under a ramp and burst it, which opened the stairwell to the Second Floor. A larger copy returned on the Ninth Floor.
