New Boss: Flubgrum, the Gribble Quartermaster

Gribbles have a diverse ancestry, while some are small they come in many types and sizes. There is talk of a gigantic, bloated Gribble champion - protecting their treasure from marauding pirate clans.

Can you take the treasure from its protector?

New Boss: Cragmaw & Marinox

Volcanic serpents are solitary by nature, their hunger too great to share. Yet within flooded calderas, where heat is constant and the stone remembers fire, a rare exception is made.

Marinox and Cragmaw have claimed such a place, not as rivals, but as brood-keepers. Here, the vents keep their young warm, and the enclosing rock shields them from the open sea.

They lure prey with the promise of wealth.
