Hunter Long Legs

Hunter Long Legs is a rare creature in the Downpour DLC, which spawns under specific requirements exclusively while playing as.

Appearance
Hunter Long Legs takes the appearance of a reanimated corpse overtaken by a mass of flesh-colored tendrils, similar to the Rot (⋅⋅). There also appeares to be a wound or blood in the core of the Hunter Long Legs, which may be where the tentacles had grown from. Individual instances of HLL have varying appearances which depend on internal variables. Due to this, the appearance of HLL varies from cycle to cycle. This can be assumed to be a feature of the Rot cysts which have taken over 's corpse swelling and then contracting or bursting as time passes, as the Hunter Long Legs is a unique creature, and should otherwise have a fixed appearance in a given playthrough.

Spawning
Hunter Long Legs spawns only when playing as, if the player has failed a run on the same save slot. It then spawns in the same room as that run ended.

If you perma-die of starvation in a shelter as Hunter, a Hunter Long Legs will not appear in said shelter in your Gourmand playthrough.

Combat
Due to its ability to see and not possessing the same one hit kill weakness by a to the core as other rots it poses a feasible challenge to subdue this creature. Though it still takes the usual damage to explosive spears addition to Gourmand spear hit dealing 3 damage to any creature before tiring out and needing to catch its breath from the throw. It's recommended to stay a safe distance from it in order to not get seen by while hitting it with any type of spears from afar, you could also alternatively spear stun it repeatedly with two spears until you feel like you dealt enough damage with Gourmand 0.5 damage when tired out.
