| Variants |
Default Infected |
| Locations |
Slorm is an enemy in Tunic. The default one has black eyes and leaves behind a normal explosion, and the infected one has glowing pink eyes and leaves behind a miasma-infused explosion.
Plot
Through visual storytelling, it is depicted that the Slorms of the Ruined Atoll have become infected by the miasma spilling forth from the broken conduits, polluting the waters in which they live in. Unlike the normal Slorms of Under the Well, the infected Ruined Atoll Slorms have eyes that glow pink, and when they die, they temporarily leave behind an unnatural pink explosion of miasma.
A Husher is seen eating at the remains of an infected Slorm in the southern part of the Ruined Atoll. This act, along with various outdated information on page 34 of the instruction manual, implies that the Hushers have inherited the disease from eating the infected Slorms, altering their appearance and making them aggressive. In comparison, the Blue Chicks show no visual signs of the disease and are not depicted to eat infected Slorms, so they are not aggressive towards the player.

| Locations |
Husher is an enemy in Tunic.
Plot
Page 34 of the instruction manual depicts Hushers to have black eyes and a normal purple-feathered body, free of corruption. As well, they are stated to be "friendly." This page of the manual also depicts what appears to be a recommended order to approach the 4 tombs of the Ruined Atoll, and the walls and conduits of the atoll are intact and undamaged.
However, this page of the instruction manual is outdated, as it does not accurately reflect the state of the Ruined Atoll. Hushers have eyes that glow pink, and their bodies unnaturally glow with the corruption of miasma. They are aggressive and unfriendly. Furthermore, the recommended order to approach the 4 tombs is not possible, due to the collapse and decay of the walls and conduits.
At some point in time between the creation of page 34 and the events of the game, Slorms of the Ruin Atoll became infected by the miasma spilling forth from the broken conduits, polluting the waters in which they live in. Unlike the normal Slorms of Under the Well, the infected Ruined Atoll Slorms have eyes that glow pink, and when they die, they temporarily leave behind an unnatural pink explosion of miasma.
A Husher is seen eating at the remains of an infected Slorm in the southern part of the Ruined Atoll. This implies that the Hushers have inherited the disease from eating the infected Slorms, altering their appearance and making them aggressive. In comparison, the Blue Chicks show no visual signs of the disease and are not depicted to eat infected Slorms, so they are not aggressive towards the player.
