Moonless Guard

The Moonless Guards are foes encountered in Fear and Hunger. They are very similar to prison guards.

Lore
A Moonless Guard is a Marriage formed between a Prison guard and a Cave Wolf, or Moonless as they are commonly called. 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
Can be found at the very bottom of the Thicket, to the bottom of the body of the God of the Depths.

If the player takes too long to reach the Cavedweller village, they will find the entire village massacred with one Moonless Guard walking around.

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

Strategy
Fought like the usual Prison Guards, hack off 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.
