Goliath (monster type)

A Goliath is a type of beast monster typically found in man-made garden areas of Wraeclast. They fire a nova of spiny projectiles on death.

Mechanics

Goliaths do not fire their on-death spines if they are shattered. Projectiles in flight can be removed by destroying the corpse of the goliath.
