Ronteal

The Ronteal are monstrous enemies encountered in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina.

Location
Ronteal can be found in Tunnel 7 or Level 2 of the Bunker area, the latter only accessible by going through a sacrificial circle that has Rher's symbol on it.

Strategy
Ronteal appear from the floor with only its mouth-shaped head sticking out, looking like a Venus Fly Trap of sorts. Once the player approaches, it comes out of its spot and chases the player. However, they are slow and can easily be outrun by the player.

The player can keep their distance from these heads to avoid the Ronteal, but they will end up having to fight at least one in this tunnel section.

Ronteal can be felled with two strikes to the torso with a weapon that is better than the knife. If the player cannot do this, it's recommended to attack the arms to avoid the massive damage they cause. The Ronteal will bite with the mouth on its torso if the fight isn't finished in a few turns.

Interactions
Like most enemies the Ronteal can be kicked after beating it. Kicks seem to sink deep into the body, the husk of the creature becoming soft and floppy despite it seemingly being made out of a wood-like material.

Trivia

 * The Ronteal's design is inspired by a Discord user, Chester, and their digital drawings of the creature.
 * Chester's original design lacked the female features Ronteal shows in the game and the longer spade blade arms. However, if one cuts off the limbs of the Ronteal, it will show the shorter spade blade arms from Chester's design.
 * Considering how easily one of these creatures can pop out of the wooden floor and the floor itself seemingly giving way to it like something coming out of water, one can think that the Tunnel 7, Level 2 area might be a dreamlike area, or under Rher's influence directly.
