THE THIRTEENTH MAN
- MONSTER
- THE MOON
- UNIQUE MONSTER
- PHASING
THE THIRTEENTH MAN is a one-of-a-kind monster that turns up on THE MOON on a fraction of runs, alone, and never twice.
It senses you through walls and drifts straight through them; the dead do not respect stone.
Twelve men are recorded as having walked on the moon. The manifests for the thirteenth were shredded the week the mission came home, and the crew he flew with have all denied him using the same wording.

The monster at its baseline, before a venue has placed it. What it really fields on each difficulty is under “Where you meet it”.
Where you meet it
THE MOON
It is placed by hand on THE MOON and waits at its post until you come close.
It is a candidate for THE MOON's once-a-run unique roll, so most runs never see it.

What to know
- HOVERSHas no legs and never touches the floor — it drifts over it, casting its shadow down.
- PHASINGWalks through walls and hunts you through them.
- UNIQUE MONSTERFields 10× the health, 2× the damage and pays 10× the experience of an ordinary monster of its kind.
- WHAT IT WAS CARRYINGNothing. It has no pockets, and never had wages — a kill pays in gear, not in coin.
- WHEN STRUCKIt comes apart in ectoplasm. A blow that overwhelms it bursts it, and the goo it was holding together goes everywhere.
