Katia Grim
Overview​
Katia Grim is a crawler who becomes a permanent party member with Carl and Donut during Floor 4. A Doppelganger Monster Truck Driver, she is a powerful physical combatant who accidentally killed Hekla and inherited the Enchanted Repeating Crossbow of the Scavenger Mother of Mothers. She levels dramatically — from 24 to 37 — from Hekla's death.
First Appearance​
Book 2, Chapter 68
Description​
- Race: Doppelganger
- Class: Monster Truck Driver
- Level: 37 (after killing Hekla, formerly 24)
- Distinctive for her shifting doppelganger appearance
Role in the Story So Far​
Katia was targeted and manipulated by Hekla, who used her as bait while secretly firing invisible phased bolts at her. Donut's Prism Goggles revealed Hekla's treachery. When Katia activated her Rush ability to intercept Hekla's escape, Hekla's phase cloak failed to prevent the collision — Hekla died from the impact. The kill was accidental.
Katia looted the Scavenger Mother crossbow from Hekla's death and received the Bolt of Ophiotaurus from Princess Formidable. She then became a fully integrated member of Carl's party for the Floor 4 endgame, using Crowd Blast and her Rush ability to hold escape tunnel approaches against Krakaren Crotch Dumpling swarms.
Eva Sigrid (Hekla's fixer and Katia's former friend) survived the confrontation. Carl looted The Left Fang of the Green Sultan from Eva.
