Description

The Lurker, internally referred to as Overgrowth, is an enemy that appears in Polluted Wasteland II. It has significantly high health and is relatively fast. As it is a Hidden enemy, only towers with hidden detection can target it.

Appearance

The Lurker is a living, humanoid made out of wood. It has vines growing all over its body, as well as dark brown bark patches on its torso and right arm. Its left leg is carved in around what would be the knee area. It has yellow eyes and the top of its head is splintered.

Strategy

• Multiple strong and cheap towers with hidden detection, like the Golden Crook Boss, are very effective against the Lurkers.
  • Other towers like the Golden Pyromancer or Golden Cowboy can also be helpful at dealing with them.
• Later on, high DPS towers with hidden detection, like the Accelerator, Turret or Engineer can clear these out with ease.
