Innate Abilities

• Innate passives: TBD (pending canonical content).
• Elemental traits: TBD.

Latent Abilities

• Unlocks/conditional: TBD.

• Burrowed cave guardian that “devours arrogance”: taunts and over-aggro raise its damage and head-count; patience and defensive play reduce heads.
• Heads lash with stone-plated whips; severed heads petrify briefly before regrowing thinner, faster strikes.
• Favors ambush at choke points; collapsing pillars or blasting loose rock can pin heads for safe windows.
• Narrative hook: used as a trial for prideful warriors—those who bow or show humility gain safer paths.

• Define humility mechanic: emote/bow vs. low DPS phase—how is “arrogance” tracked?
• Clarify canonical cavern (Eddara? Kaerugan fault-lines?).
• Loot hook: stone lash scales or humility sigils as crafting reagents?
