Adversary overview

These shriveled human silhouettes wander in agony, attacking anything nearby. Some have swollen, starving bellies; others drag their intestines along the ground.

These poor souls are nothing more than human silhouettes, thin and shriveled. They wander aimlessly, writhing in their torment, and attack anything that passes within Melee range. Some have enormous bellies from starvation, others have their intestines dragging on the ground
