In the refuse pits beneath the Dreadforge, a hideous life has grown, refusing to die and devouring all it encounters.

Dungeon Journal
A hideous abomination of flesh and iron, this mutant fiend was cast into the pits beneath the Dreadforge to die. Instead, it has grown ever larger and more powerful, incorporating malformed scraps of iron into its body. Every fragment of Dreadhide's flesh seethes with corrupted life energies, and will not die even when severed from the monster's body.

Dreadhide's Head
Dreadhide's head and tendrils periodically emerge from the iron slime and attack. They cannot be targeted.



Dreadhide's Claw
Claws will periodically rise up from the slime below and make their way towards the platform in Approaching Stance. If they are not destroyed before reaching the platform, they will Grasp the platform. The longer a hand Grasps the platform, the lower it will be dragged into the iron slime. If a hand is reduced to 25% health while in Grasping Stance, it will be severed and adopt Severed Stance.







Phase Two - Dreadhide
Reducing Dreadhide's health to 40% triggers phase two. Dreadhide drags the platform down 25% and flops onto the northern quarter, shattering it and becoming targetable.

 * 10 Iron Oozelings, 3 Iron Horrors
