Zlurpies

Zlurpies debut in The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook as waist-high armadillo-like warriors whose plated shells enable them to curl into defensive or offensive balls. These semi-intelligent dungeon denizens represent a mid-tier threat that forces crawlers to adapt tactics around their rolling mobility and armored resilience. Their introduction expands the bestiary with creatures that blend animalistic behavior and rudimentary strategy, hinting at deeper ecological layers within the dungeon's evolving floors.
