### Nimruza – Queen of the Burrowed Sands

Picture this: a world before the Caveling empires, where cicadas thrived in the Underground as the ultimate timekeepers. But as the Cavelings expanded, a gritty turf war began, leaving behind remnants of enormous battles in the form of cicada husks and ruined Caveling settlements.

At the heart of this ancient feud lies Nimruza, once a majestic cicada queen reigning over the desert’s depths. But everything changed when a parasite infiltrated her, physically consuming her. Now embedded with a sinister force, she stands as a formidable adversary in the new Core Keeper update. Her story adds layers to the unfolding Cicada-Caveling War saga, advancing the epic journey.

### Designing Nimruza

Creating Nimruza wasn’t just about adding another boss; it was about striking a balance between menace and history. The talented team at Pugstorm spent plenty of late nights brainstorming ways to make her a standout antagonist. Crafted to embody corruption, her patterned combat style reflects her transition from a natural creature to a wrathful menace. Prepare for a challenging encounter as you confront her regimented, unnatural attacks.

### Exploring the Oasis

The Bags & Blasts update introduces you to the breathtaking Oasis, a fresh sub-world nestled in the Desert of Beginnings. Here, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to face Nimruza and quell the rising evil. Brace yourself for hordes of cicadas and dodge Nimruza’s powerful strikes. Meanwhile, explore for the Drohmble, an enchanting camel-like companion. Ranch these new creatures, and they might reveal essential resources for crafting futuristic weapons.

### Explosive New Skills & Weapons
