Strange Barrel

Strange Barrel
StrongboxJust an ordinary barrel, used to store sensible objects.
Not swarms of things.

Strange Barrel is a unique Strongbox.

This strongbox spawns waves (a stream) of spider-type enemies to defend it. In the final waves, it spawns rare monsters and a unique monster named Dav'nalleous.
