Katia Grim

Overview​

Katia Grim is a Doppelganger crawler and permanent member of Carl and Donut's party. A former member of Brynhild's Daughters who was abandoned by her faction on Floor 3, she accidentally killed the #2-ranked crawler Hekla on Floor 4 and has grown into one of the most versatile fighters in the dungeon. By the end of Floor 5 she is Level 44.

First Appearance​

Book 2, Chapter 68

Known Aliases​

  • Monster Truck Driver (class name)

Description​

  • Race: Doppelganger — her body is like clay; she has a fixed mass she can reshape into any form of equal mass, sculpting each shape manually
  • Class: Monster Truck Driver
  • Large changes to her form are painful; minor adjustments are near-instantaneous
  • Her ex Fannar left her for one of his students; she was not permitted to adopt

Role in the Story So Far​

Katia first appeared on Floor 3 when Hekla asked Carl to shelter her while Brynhild's Daughters regrouped. On Floor 4, she discovered Hekla had been secretly targeting her with invisible bolts. During the confrontation, Katia's Rush ability struck Hekla as she fled under a phase cloak — the impact was fatal. Katia leveled from 24 to 37 in a single moment, earning the first golden skull of the season and a 500,000 gold bounty. She looted Hekla's Enchanted Repeating Crossbow and permanently joined Carl and Donut's party. She received a Club Vanquisher membership tattoo and the Enchanted Shade Gnoll Riot Forces Crowd Control Shield, upgrading her Rush to Crowd Blast. She disguised herself as Carl during the Trainyard E battle to distract Grull and Prince Maestro.

On Floor 5, Katia used her shapeshifting abilities extensively for reconnaissance and combat. Her Crowd Blast became a key tactical tool. At the end of Floor 5, she led a splinter group that separated from Carl and Donut's team, taking Gwen, Louis, Firas, Florin, and Daniel Bautista's associates with her. She kept the Twister airship. The Left Fang of the Green Sultan (Eva Sigrid's saber) was returned to her via Carl in Chapter 33.
