Version history

Version	Changes
3.15.0	We have rebalanced various monsters found throughout Act One to make them more dangerous. Note, the balance changes made to Act One Bosses and monsters also apply to their Endgame Map versions. Monster life has been increased by roughly 46% at level 1, tapering down to the same amount of life at level 84. Some bosses and monsters in Act 1, such as Hillock and Oozeback have had their life reduced to partially counteract this change. Various effects improvements have been made to monsters and bosses throughout Act One. Various audio improvements have been made to monsters and bosses throughout Act One.
3.4.0	The Deep Dweller is now called the Dweller of the Deep, to be consistent with what the quest calls him. The other option was "Granddaddy Crab".

2.3.0	Fixed a bug with the Dweller of the Deep [sic Sīc erat scriptum (Latin: “Thus it was written”) – This quote is reproduced faithfully from its source.] where he could leave behind a phantom glow effect in the shape of a sandspitter when dying in his first form.
1.2.0	The Deep Dweller has been reworked. He now has two new skills - in his first form he can disturb the ground, calling Sand Spitters to emerge and assist him.
