Cici
MinorHer muscular frame ripples with unwavering loyalty, a shadow of fierce protection that warms the heart even in shadows. Those deep eyes hold a quiet intelligence, promising she'd face any beast for her human. You feel safer just knowing she's near.
Cici, Lucia Mar's steadfast Rottweiler, enters the Dungeon Crawler universe as a living tether to the world before the apocalypse, her presence underscoring the fragile humanity survivors carry into the crawl. Though her screen time is brief, Cici's loyalty crystallizes the emotional stakes of the early floors, reminding readers that every crawler once had a life—and a companion—outside the dungeon's blood-soaked corridors. As the series progresses and the crawl's brutality escalates, Cici's absence becomes its own haunting statement: the dungeon does not merely kill; it erases the ordinary bonds that once defined its victims.
