==Characteristics==
The Cruelcumber and their cousins are tribal looking [[Nature family|vegetables]] with deranged smiles, their tongues flailing about as they fight. Interestingly, a bit of dishwater blonde hair extends from the tip of their stem, giving them a look reminiscent of the ''[[Wikipedia:chonmage|Chonmage]]'', a traditional Japanese topknot hairstyle. Cruelcumbers have a rivalry with [[Orc]]s over who are the better spearmen, according to their bestiary entry in ''X''.

Cruelcumbers began appearing in Version 5.0 of the game, this time being stronger than both their zumeanie and scourgette cousins by virtue of being introduced later in the game. They can perform [[Multithrust]] and lunging attacks with their spears, as well as being able to cast [[Oomph]].

Cruelcumber is one of the four possible starter monsters [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] can receive at the beginning of the game. Monty will offer it if the player answers "No" to the question: “Would you say you prefer lovable monsters to more rugged types?”, "Yes" to “Would you prefer a monster with sleek skin to one that's on the furrier side?”, and "No" to “Do you like weird and wonderful monsters?”.
