Disclaimer: Some of my character sprites were custom made through modding.

Music used:
-A brief respite (Camp theme)
-Town in Chaos

^Both from Darkest Dungeon
I picked this game, as both feature Lovecraftian inspired creatures and themes, similar to the Defective themselves.

In this video, I go over the mysterious eldritch entity known as the Defective! They are an interesting new challenge character, capable of cloning to help aid you with crowd control. However, if they get bit even once, they and the clones will ALL DIE! Despite these seemingly overpowered abilities, they are still a challenging rare character that you may find rewarding to build and utilize in your run.
