- Special mechanic
- Resurrects after fatal damage unless killed by Divine weapons or by an environmental kill with no ground beneath (e.g. falling). In The Catacombs, groups of 6+ are bound to a Necromancer; killing the Necromancer permanently stops their revival. Their weapons cause Bleed on the player despite those same weapon types not normally inflicting Bleed when player-wielded.
