Spine Chief is a champion Wurmkin unit in Monster Train 2. It fields 5 attack and 20 health at size 3. Its 3 upgrade paths are The Decayer, The Corruptor and The Infector.

Champions start plain and grow through one of three upgrade paths — see below.

“For all of their obsession with knowledge and Titanlore, the Wurmkin are focused to a fault, worrying only about the study in front of them. As such, they’ve appointed a Chief as both protector and leader. This Chief’s experience with combat is limited, but his wits must be sharp to have kept the clan hidden for so long. Thankfully, Wurmkin claws are as deadly as they are functional, so should the Chief ever really need to fight it won’t be totally unprepared.”
