Leptfire Keeper

The Leptfire Keeper is a Firemoth Nix-Ox that serves as the secret boss of the Hunter's Grotto.

It can only be reached by defeating the Magma Queen in The Brimstone Den first, which grants the ability to use Brimstone Orbs to cross lava safely, and in turn will spawn them in the Hunter's Grotto to reach the boss.

Defeating the Leptfire Keeper grants you Empowered Grapple, which makes the Grappling Hook grant you a temporary speed bonus (known as Hunting Speed) when you use it.
