First appearance: Book 2 - Carl's Doomsday Scenario · Class: Shotgun Messenger · Race: Crocodilian
Who is Florin DuPont?
Florin DuPont is a crawler in Dungeon Crawler Carl, first appearing on Floor 3 in Book 2 (Carl's Doomsday Scenario). He selects the Crocodilian race and Shotgun Messenger class during Floor 3 class selection. Carl notes that Florin's mag-fed Mossberg shotgun seems to have unlimited ammunition, which the dungeon permits for reasons never fully explained.
Class and role
- Race: Crocodilian — reptilian humanoid with natural armor and physical traits suited to close combat despite Florin's ranged-weapon build.
- Class: Shotgun Messenger — a specialized ranged class centered on the titular weapon. Scales with mobility and accuracy.
- Style: Disciplined gunfighter. Calm under pressure. Professional in a dungeon full of amateurs and maniacs.
Florin and his partner Ifechi are both ranked in the first Leaderboard when it goes live on Floor 4, and they remain in the top ten through the Fourth Floor. Ifechi wields a magical staff that summons buff-giving leeches. Florin calls her "Ife."
