A top-ten crawler who fights like a flipping kung-fu master, shattering a mantaur's leg with a single glowing punch.
Li Jun, a top-ten crawler, volunteers himself, his sister Li Na and Zhang to help Carl fight to his cart, insisting it's the least they can do after Carl saved them twice. A ferocious martial-arts fighter, he flips through the air grabbing tentacles and hurling Krakaren monsters, and is immune to acid (a class pick after the Brindle Grubs). In the mantaur ambush he shows why he made the top ten: buffing his hands to glow red, he slides along the track under a decapitating swipe and shatters the boss's leg with one punch, backflipping clear, then bounces off Carl's shoulders to vault the falling monster.
Loyal, humble, and too polite to tell Carl when he's being an idiot — unlike his sister.
An athletic, acrobatic crawler who fights bare-handed, hands glowing red with a combat buff as he flips and slides through battle.
A top-ten martial-artist ally, fighting beside his sister in Carl's mantaur gambit.
