These guys aint got nothing to brag about

Appear in a few variants: Most commonly is the naked variant wields a curved meat cleaver, other variant is aesthetically identical however will throw dung pies at the Hunter inflicting Slow Poison, third variant (pictured above) is more dangerous with a bit more HP more damage and duel wielding.

Sometimes will have a poison or fire weapon buff identified by the aura surrounding their weapon.

Attack Patterns

Basic slashes from the blade medium speed

A flurry of slashes common of early game souls enemies, don't get caught in it

Some may throw dung pies to inflict poison

Solid movement speed, relatively aggressive and persistent

General Strategy

Just hit em, if they are in a group give a wider swing, Moves with Area of effect are good for dealing with groups as they go down quite fast, Molotovs, Tiny Tonitrus, A Call Beyond and Beast Roar(when surrounded) are all good options.

Lore

These sorry souls are Pthmerian thralls who protect the tomb of the old ones from invaders. Presumably are or were at the bottom of Pthmerian society due to their lack of arcane transformation compared with the other Pthmerians
