Alkali Creature
Level 14 Monster · Caliche Flats
Alkali Creature is one of the monster threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 14.
Field notes
Something the salt pan kept and the rain gave back. It walks upright when it thinks it is unobserved and drops to all fours when it is not, and the alkali crust around it is bleached in a ring nothing has grown in for years. Prospectors call it a coyote with the mange. Prospectors do not look closely.
What you are walking into
Alkali Creature is level 14, carries 168 health, and is classed Standard. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Alkali Creature plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Alkali Creature
Alkali Creature is encountered at Caliche Flats. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Caliche Flats covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 210 experience and between $34 and $68. Its loot table can yield Alkali Salt, Animal Bones and Spirit Stone. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
