Deskrawl minions

Captured creatures are the run’s logistics: they pick loot off the ground, carry it back to town and add to how much a single trip can bring home. The build’s minion data holds twenty-nine entries, and this page prints all of them under the home each one is filed under.

Eight captured creatures from the game

How to read the minion table here

Five columns carry this whole page, and three of them are easy to misread:

  • Home is where the build files the creature, which is usually the ground it appears on — but not always: two of the headings on this page are not capture zones.
  • Grade is the rarity that creature’s own row carries. It says nothing about how much the creature carries — that is the next column.
  • Carriage capacity is how much the creature’s cart holds. It is stored per creature, so it is the one number here that changes a farming route.
  • The last column says what the demo opens, not how strong the creature is. A locked row is still worth reading when you are weighing a full-release route.

Where Deskrawl minions come from

The build files each creature under one home. Two of the headings are not capture zones: the mounts wait in town, and one creature lives in a region the demo never opens. A name printed as a link is a creature with a page of its own — eleven of the twenty-five have one.

What these Deskrawl minion pages give you

Captured creatures are not a second party: they haul the loot cart. They pick drops up off the ground, carry them back to town and decide how much a single trip brings home — which is why this page prints a capacity for every creature rather than a damage number.

The build files each creature under one home, and this page keeps that filing. Two of those headings are not places you capture in: the mounts wait in town, and one creature lives in a region the demo never opens. Those rows are printed where the build puts them, with the row saying so.

If you came here for how to get one, the official rules are collected on the release page: any enemy can be captured, bosses included, and a boss’s rein is what unlocks it.

Deskrawl minions with the biggest carriage

Capacity is the number that changes a farming route: a bigger carriage means fewer trips and a wider loot filter before it fills.

What is missing from the minion pages

Three things this page cannot give you today:

  • How many creatures a run can keep out at once. Every row carries a capacity, and nothing in the data states a ceiling on how many carts are at work.
  • A drop rate per creature. The patch notes mention rein drop rates changing with quality; no per-creature figure exists here to print.
  • A step-by-step capture guide. Capturing has a system of its own and no guide page yet; the official rules are on the release page in the meantime.

What the minion data does not answer

How many creatures one run can keep working, and where each one’s drop rate sits. The data stores a home, a grade and a capacity for every creature; it states neither of those, so this page leaves them open instead of estimating.

Deskrawl minions: the questions that come back

How do I get a Deskrawl minion?

By capturing it. Any enemy can be captured, bosses included, and a boss’s rein is what unlocks that boss as a servant. The release page collects the official rules in one place. Answered in full by Release

Can I capture a boss?

Yes. The official copy says any enemy can be captured, bosses included, and that a rein unlocks the boss as a servant who pulls the loot wagon and adds a passive buff or an active ability. Answered in full by Release

What does carriage capacity actually change?

How much a creature’s cart holds, and therefore how many trips a route takes and how wide the pickup filter can be before it fills. It is stored per creature, which is why this page ranks by capacity. Answered in full by Auto-open chests and auto-sell

Where is the detail behind these rows?

This page is the index: each row carries the home, grade and capacity the build stores for that creature, and eleven of the twenty-five creatures have a page of their own with their capacity rank, grade band and home group spelled out. Answered in full by All minions

Where to go next

This table is the index. These are the pages where each part of it gets used:

About the art on this page

Twenty-one of the twenty-five creatures have their own icon in the build, matched by the name the build files them under and screened for placeholder art. The four without one show a drawn carriage-capacity medallion instead — nothing is borrowed from another creature, and the four are: the young black dragon, the sandstorm harpy queen, the skeleton warrior and the brown horse.

The four entries without a creature

Four entries carry a published name and a description but no home, grade or capacity — the build files them as the support abilities its creatures cast. They are printed here because they are part of the same data, and they are the only rows on this page without a medallion.
