The Huuli Hoarder is one of the most valuable creatures in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, but its shrill screams and wiggling ways make me adore it above all else.
I play as a solo dwarf in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, armed with weapons, running around the mines of Hoxxes IV in search of valuable minerals. I gun down hordes of monsters, dig out supply caches, and upgrade my weapons so they fire even more hot death. But there’s one thing that always catches my attention and turns me into a homing missile. It’s a goofy little snail, and it brings me so much joy.
Known as the Huuli Hoarder, the snail operates much like the Treasure Goblin from the Diablo franchise. It shows up without warning and its presence can be the highlight of a run. The snail, upon spotting a dwarf, gives a high-pitched little shriek, wiggles its butt, and flees off-screen. There’s a built-in risk/reward ratio here; chasing and killing the snail rewards a huge chunk of experience and a random upgrade. But the snail flees where it pleases — often towards environmental hazards, big masses of monsters, or a tiny corner of the map.
