Moonless Guard

The Moonless Guard is an enemy encountered in Fear & Hunger. It is a more dangerous version of the Guard.

Lore
A Moonless Guard is a Marriage formed between a Guard and a cave wolf. For the marriage to work, both of them have to be willing participants. How a Prison Guard managed to convince a Moonless wolf to mate with him is unknown (the influence of the old god Sylvian is strongly suspected) but they have become malformed creatures wandering the very bottom of the body that is the God of the Depths.

Location & Behavior
They can be found at the very bottom of the Thicket, to the bottom of the body of the God of the Depths. They can also be found within the present version of Ma'habre.

There is a 10% chance at the beginning of every game that all the inhabitants of the Cavedweller village will be massacred with one Moonless Guard walking around (as per the source code of the game).

They behave like regular guards and run up to the player immediately after spotting them.

Strategy
Fought like the usual Prison Guards, remove his cleaver arm before going for the other body parts, unless one wants to risk limb loss. His free arm also has a grab attack akin to that of the normal guard.

It's gaping maw, extending from the head and all the way down to where the stinger used to be, can attack and will usually damage the player the same amount that a usual tackle does.

Overall, it should be simple to defeat.
