Bogman

“	Containment protocols for these aggressive, semi-amphibious creatures are currently under review, but they are believed to have a sensitivity to subsonic sound. While not yet an official designation, IS-0422 was discovered by Lenora Riggs in Anteverse CLXVIII. The precise origins and evolution of IS-0422 are not yet understood, although Dr. Riggs theorizes that their presence in CLXVIII may be connected to the Lodestone. If not endemic, their home anteverse is, at this stage, unknown.	”

The Bogman is a hostile entity found in the Marshlands in Canaan.

Appearance

The Bogman is a hulking humanoid, completely covered in moss, woody plant growth, and patches of red flesh. It has no apparent facial features beyound two yellow eyes sunken deep within it's head.

Behavior

Bogmen are seen only in the Marshlands of Canaan, wandering around. They're hostile to all trespassers or Deployable Objects on sight.

Combat Tips

Bogmen make for dangerous enemies with their high mobility and toughness, and will relentlessly chase after players. Multiple Bogmen can prove overwhelming in combat; a player can become trapped by vines and left vulnerable to other Bogmen's attacks.

Attacks:
- Leaping Swipes: Lunges towards targets, dealing damage in melee range.
- Claw: Swipes one arm at targets in melee range.
- Snare Trap: Buries hands into the dirt, attempting to catch the player in damaging vines, which also immobilize them.
- Burrow: Dives underground to reposition itself to another location. Reminiscent to the Exor Monk's teleportation ability, but cannot be tracked.

Strategy:
- Fire-based weaponry such as the Thermite Molotov or the Thermal Mallet can take advantage of the entity's weakness.
- Players can outrun The Bogman's ranged attack to prevent being trapped, or fly out of danger with a Jetpack.
