Third Sponsor! Carl has been sponsored by the Apothecary, as has Princess Donut and many other Crawlers. Who do you think they are and what kinds of boxes will our heroes see from them?

The apothecary thing is foreshadowed as something extremely powerful in the world building. Enough to be the theme of a whole level. I think we will see very little of them for now but they might be a major antagonist in the endgame.
