Dungeon Crawler Carl

Summary spoilers for the whole series

A tentacled alien collective mind whose clones recur as bosses. The Second Floor clone ran the Rev-Up moonshine scheme and died to Carl's explosives; on the Fourth Floor its vitamin shots and clonelings overran the Iron Tangle. The original, Krakaren Prime, was banished to the Nothing, got loose when it broke, and returned as the Eleventh Floor boss before Taranis took her away.
