Duskers are goblin-like constructs created by the Immortal Hierarch of Entropy, Nyx, to guard the maze entrance from the Tower of Night on the world of Chasm into the Isle of Night. Brute duskers are larger and more powerful versions of the normal dusker.
When destroyed, duskers disappear with a popping sound.
