Hoodle No. 166

DarkSize XSNot rideableDay & night
✦ Rarity · Common — "Rewards hitting first"

Void-Dweller doubles down on the ambush: 50–100% more player damage against enemies that have not entered combat yet. It is an opener multiplier, and Hoodle's own data flags — nocturnal, predator, trapper — read like a design brief for exactly that.

Partner skill
Void-Dweller — "While in party, increases the player's damage dealt to enemies that are not in combat by (50~100)%. (Does not stack)" The bonus evaporates the moment the fight starts, so it rewards patience and positioning rather than sustained damage.

The story of Hoodle

"When it sleeps, it deflates. When it sleeps, it's no longer there. A sleeping Hoodle cannot exist; Therefore, Hoodle never sleeps."

"When it sleeps, it deflates. When it sleeps, it is no longer there. A sleeping Hoodle cannot exist; therefore, Hoodle never sleeps." The entry is a syllogism, and it is airtight, and it explains nothing at all.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Night spawns outnumber day roughly three to one. Go after dark.

The opener bonus is enormous if you can land the first hit unseen.

Three zones on one island means it is not a hard find.
