Dust Haunt
Level 7 Monster · Caliche Flats
Dust Haunt is a level 7 monster found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
A dry whirlwind with a shape inside it — a trick of heat and salt in the alkaline air, or something that lives there. Where a Dust Wraith is cold at the core, the Dust Haunt is dry heat given appetite. The survey stakes it passes leave pointing the wrong way.
What you are walking into
Dust Haunt is level 7, carries 77 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It leans on pressure, degrading your draws before a card is turned; steady hands matter more than big ones. 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 Dust Haunt plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Dust Haunt
Dust Haunt 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 112 experience and between $3 and $7. Its loot table can yield Alkali Minerals and Saltpeter. 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.
