Trivia

• "Rip and Tear" is likely a reference to the infamous panel in the Knee Deep In The Dead Doom comic containing the phrase.
• 'Flanking Harry' has a similar name to the skill 'Hound's Harry' used by Houndmaster in Darkest Dungeon which was also a full party bleed cleave.
• The Gander takes its name from the real-life dog of the same name, who was a military animal in World War II.
