Anklebiter

The Anklebiter is a classification of monster found in Gauntlet: Legends and Dark Legacy. They are small nuisance enemies that are quickly crushed with a quick stomp. Their purpose is more to get in the way and consume resources and health rather than be an actual threat. Anklebiters take a different form depending on the current Realm, such as scorpions, maggots, spiders, and so on. Anklebiters are smaller enemies and will usually die with 1-2 hits of a normal attack.

Like most other monsters, they are created by Generators. However, while most anklebiters do not have different strength levels, regardless of the generator's level, a few rare kinds do. It still doesn't prevent them from quickly becoming goo under some adventurer's feet.
