 Lost souls do not always choose to sacrifice themselves; if monsters of varying strength are present, they will often ignore the deaths of weak monsters in order to save themselves for the strong. If several lost souls are clustered together, they will be more likely to sacrifice themselves for weaker things. On their own, lost souls move quickly and avoid getting close to you, but are generally fragile.

 ==Tips & Tricks==
 *While it's normally reasonable to focus your attention on the largest threat in a fight with multiple enemies, be careful when doing so with lost souls around. They're fairly fragile, so it's usually worth spending a turn or two to take them out before finishing off any powerful foes.
 ==History==
 *Prior to [[0.19]], non-summoned lost souls could be found in [[the Crypt]].
 *Lost souls were added in [[0.13]].
