Dead Digger
Dead Digger is a monster of the melee type found in Cubera Mine.
Lore
The Dead Digger is what remains of the diggers who opened Cubera Mine's first shafts. They died so long ago that their skin turned to rock dust, and only the rotten mana holds their bones together, wrapped in rags and dry gallery mud.
It attacks at close range with a rusted pickaxe, in short, stubborn blows, always aiming at the same spot as if hunting for a hidden vein. It tends to burst out of the earthen walls as the hero passes, digging its way out instead of in.

On Hard items drop as Nightmare (+40% to flat attributes and +30% to % bonuses); on Hardcore they also drop as Nightmare, and once in a while, very rarely, a Godlike (+80%) comes, delivered by letter.
Special enemies pay more: the Elite drops an item 38% of the time, the Champion 70% and the Ancient Monster 100%; Champion and Ancient Monster raise the item's rarity by 1 level. The jewel chance is 2× on the Elite, 4× on the Champion and 8× on the Ancient Monster. Each Reset also raises the jewel chance a little. See Special enemies (PT).
