Penumbra

Penumbra: 1 source · wiki. Checked 2026-11-09.

Penumbra is filed on the public wiki as a champion in Monster Train 2. I am keeping the numbers that the page actually prints and leaving blanks where the page does not give a number.

Clan: Umbra. Role on the page: alternate. Cost 0. Capacity 3. Base stats 20/20.

The flavor line on the page is: I have no hard facts on its origin, but it is rumored to be the beginning of the Shroud itself, formed in the long forgotten depths of the Crucible and giving life to the rest of Hell. This would make it the first being of Hell. It has yet to confirm or deny my questioning on the matter.

How you get it, as written: Unlocked at clan level 5 (alternate champion).

The page also names a Monster Train 1 counterpart: yes.

How the wiki summarizes play: Penumbra is the main Champion of the Umbra clan. As the leader of the gluttonous Shroud, they are a champion that usually requires a lot of attention, either in the need for Morsels or Capacity. Their starter card is Shadesplitter.

Patch notes attached to this entry: 1.0 Added Penumbra with increased Damage in Monstrous champion path. 11748 Monstrous Penumbra HP increased from 25/50/100 >>> 30/60/120. 1.2 Glutton Penumbra stats increased from 20/20 (all ranks) >>> 20/20, 35/35, 50/50.

I treat Penumbra as one entry with 1 filed source(s). I am not promoting a single wiki paragraph into a tier placement. If a second public write-up disagrees with a number above, I will keep both instead of averaging them.
