An act of love between a cave wolf and a guard.
- The New Gods when asked about Moonless Guards.

The Moonless guard is an enemy encountered in Fear & Hunger. They are a stronger version of the Guard.

Lore

A Moonless guard is a Marriage of Flesh formed between a Guard and a cave wolf, or Moonless as they are commonly called.

Location

Moonless Guards are found inside The Gauntlet. Additionally, upon starting a new game, there is a 10% chance of encountering extra Moonless guards patrolling the Cavedweller village, having slaughtered its entire population.

They behave like regular guards and run up to the player immediately after spotting them.

Moonless guards can be devoured without consequence and skinned for Guard Skin.

Skills

Body Part	Skill	Effect	Condition	Chance	Success Rate
Torso	Gaping Mouth	Deals 36-54 Piercing damage.	Always	100% (50% when tackle possible)	100%
	Tackle	Deals 16-24 Blunt damage.	Arms cut off	50%	100%
	Devour	Deals 32-48 Piercing damage 3 times on failed coin flip.	Every 3 turns starting on turn 2	100%	100%
Left Arm	Hack	Deals 28-42 Slashing damage, causes Arm loss.	Always	100%	90%

Strategy

Moonless guards take 115% damage from the Slashing damage type.

Fought like the usual Prison Guards, remove his cleaver arm before going for the other body parts to prevent limb loss.

Instead of using his right arm for a grabbing attack, it uses its gaping maw, which has a similar coinflip attack that deals roughly the same amount of damage as the mad rush attack, but you can just guard it as usual; however, cutting off its arms will make it use the tackle attack instead.

Overall, it should be simple to defeat.
