Distinguishing feature: black claws where a clerk's ink-stained nails would be.
How it fights
This is the end of a raid, and it is not a thing to be met alone or by surprise. It has been built to be brought down by a company that knows what it is walking into, and it will not be worn away by persistence the way ordinary danger is. Expect it to change how it fights partway through, and expect the fight to be lost, when it is lost, to something nobody was watching.
It belongs to the deep, where the ceiling is low, the footing is bad, and retreat is a direction rather than a plan.
Where it is met
Met in The Sunless Market, by travellers of levels 30 to 35.
What it leaves
It leaves an artifact shard.
Where to look
