Tunneler

The Tunneler is a minor character in Darkwood.

He can first be found in the Village, having dug several holes along with a tunnel that leads from the Village to the Silent Forest Hideout. He is described as a disheveled man with long hair.

The Tunneler's worm-like body

He can be found againin the Swamp at the Holes. Initially, he is similarly described as being a disheveled mud-caked man with long hair. Upon the second visit to the holes, a very large worm-like creature with what seems to be a human body as its head can be seen jumping through holes while repeating the man's quotes. He is one of many replicas/clones created by the Being, a fusion of a man and a worm.

Trivia

• There is a possibility that the Tunneler in the Swamp is a different individual, while some replicas created by Being are unique, duplicates are not unheard of. Though there is no reason not to think that this is the same individual.
• The Tunneler is one of the only replicas that can talk in game but doesn't have their own dialogue screen.
