How it fights

A plain melee fighter: it walks up to you and strikes.

  • Elites drop their common loot every time and give 5 souls to the player who lands the killing blow.
  • Nesting: when it dies it opens and releases two smaller copies with 40% of its health, 60% of its size and 30% more speed. The copies drop nothing.
  • 6 armour, 60% knockback resistance, 20 experience. It notices players up to 32 blocks away.
  • Elites never despawn.

Attacks

Its own attacks, shared with no other creature. It picks among them, never the same one twice in a row, and each has a wind-up you can read before it lands.
