Bloatheads can be found throughout Oolacile Township and the Chasm of the Abyss. One is also located on the elevator in the Oolacile Township Dungeon.

Description[]

They have oversized arms, webbed fingers and toes, pale skin, a filthy, mutated head, and are often seen twitching uncontrollably in mindless laughter.

Lore[]
