Bramble Baby

Bramble Baby is a small thorn-covered plant creature found in The Crater and The Rift with 8 HP, 3 damage, and 4 movement. Rather than moving normally, it burrows underground and reappears on a different empty tile, making it nearly impossible to predict or corner. Upon surfacing, it spawns bramble obstacles on adjacent tiles. Any unit standing on a tile where brambles spawn becomes immediately entangled and immobilized.

Its ranged attack is a vine pull that drags nearby units toward it and into the bramble terrain it has created — pulling trapped enemies deeper into entanglement. The combination of teleporting movement, terrain denial through bramble placement, and a pull attack means Bramble Baby can rapidly lock down large portions of the battlefield. A key vulnerability: it takes dramatically increased Burn stacks, reportedly around 10 times more than normal, making fire attacks disproportionately effective.

High-damage ranged attacks are the recommended solution: kill it before it can burrow and spawn brambles, preventing it from establishing terrain control. If fire abilities are available, they are exceptionally effective due to the amplified Burn vulnerability. Never let it get more than one or two turns undisturbed — a Bramble Baby that has had time to burrow and spawn terrain can lock down half your team before you can clear the entanglement.
