The enormous boss assigned as the Impossible tutorial's victory condition. Its shell carries a vast population of dangerous symbiotic creatures, making a direct attack far beyond Jeb's initial ability.

First appears in chapter 2

The surviving assassin from the group that robbed Jeb. She accepts a partnership after her leader dies in one of Jeb's pits. Her exceptional speed and ability to reduce her effective mass complement his traps and emerging telekinesis.

A necromancer traveling with four reanimated humans. He keeps his undead away from Jeb's safe zone and begins negotiating for equipment and a strong corpse, presenting a potentially valuable but uncertain alliance.
