  • Tough Hide.png Tough Hide - Immune to regular damage and conditions, but vulnerable to attacks from enchanted armor.
Skills
  • Acidic Gas - After shaking the spines on its back, the bristleback emits clouds of red poisonous gas in the air that causes poison and knockdown to any players gliding through them.

Notes[edit]

  • Contrary to its description, it does not shoot spikes like normal bristlebacks. Instead, it interferes with players gliding while carrying bombs.
