-'''Bennu''' are curiously contradictory creatures, masters of both life and death. Their attacks inflict [[holy]] damage. Upon death, bennus resurrect and emit a large burst of negative energy, damaging the living. They can only resurrect once. They are very rare, appearing only in [[the Tomb of the Ancients]] and [[ziggurat]]s.

-*For the living, bennu are one of the less dangerous Tomb creatures; they are simple melee threats that aren't especially strong. But against [[undead]] or [[Demonspawn|demonic]] players, they can hit hard and fast with [[holy]]-branded attacks. If you're vulnerable to holy and lack great defenses, mind the damage.

-*Bennu are immune to [[fire]] and resistant to [[Shatter]], so many AOE spells that obliterate mummies won't work against them.

 ==Tips & Tricks==
-*Lacking any ranged attacks, or even any particularly devastating melee ones, the bennu is one of the least-deadly opponents in Tomb, at least against living characters. Undead characters should avoid leaving these enemies alive for very long, however. Their holy-[[brand]]ed peck attacks can be surprisingly harmful if you lack solid physical protection.

 *The ghostly flames it emits upon death will heal any undead units within its radius. Try to finish off any particularly dangerous, heavily wounded undead opponents before landing a killing blow on the bennu (or better yet, try not to fight a bennu with other opponents around at the same time).
