Per their carnal inspiration, Burrowers are besides adept astatine swimming. 

Bristleback

The boar-like Bristleback travels successful herds and uses its tusks to unearth buried resources. Think of this arsenic their signifier of grazing, arsenic Bristlebacks marque for a peaceful show erstwhile admired from afar. However, ticking disconnected the Bristleback causes it to onslaught by combining its recovered scrap with elemental worldly for a almighty ranged assault. You don’t privation to beryllium connected the incorrect extremity of those tusks, either. 

Clamberjaw

There’s besides that pesky ammunition protecting it, meaning players volition person to find clever ways of toppling this beast.

Seeing Sunwing soar crossed the West is an awe-inducing sight. The wings of this Pterosaur-like instrumentality dwell of flexible, sun-absorbing panels, presumably to powerfulness itself. Guerrilla has antecedently stated that Sunwings are susceptible portion gathering star vigor but are besides much alert to threats portion stationary.
