Dungeon is a strange-named non-instanced structure hosting some type of end-game combat trial, which can be attempted by anyone who dares to enter, but can be conquered by only the strong.
Descending inside this sinister lair Brave Hearthlings can discover very tough versions of normal enemies, various rooms with puzzles and treasures, as well as a mighty boss at the very end, which will grant one rare treasure, one Heart Container and a permanent buff in the form of a Lore Event once defeated. After boss has been defeated, the Dungeon will rumble fiercely and adventurers within should flee, afterwards the Dungeon collapses permanently destroying itself and a new Dungeon will appear somewhere in the world.
Hearthlings cannot hearth home while inside a Dungeon, even if KOed, only choice of escape is to wait off KO timer and then sprint for the exit.
Dungeon enemies cannot Execute, but they can repeatedly apply KO and kill via a Concussion.

- Smoked Hedgedog (2021-01-24)◎ >"The Ant Hill dungeon keys, opening the door to the Ant Queen by being placed in a receptacle, now have distinct graphics"
- Smoked Hedgedog (2021-01-24)◎ >"Added a power indicator to dungeon rooms. Rooms spawning a set number of waves of enemies, or rooms where the objective is to have all enemies dead simultaneously, have a power indicator communicating either, in the former case, how many enemies total are left, or, in the latter case, how many enemies are alive. Hopefully this communicates the objectives of these rooms a bit better."
