Useful Info

Jiangshi are blindingly fast undead monsters with two moderately powerful vampiric claw attacks. They behave like sixfirhys, skipping several turns between bouts of rapid action. Accounting for the turns they skip, they have an effective movement speed of a little under 16 and an action speed around 9.5. They can be found in the Crypt, often as members of vampire mage bands, or summoned by other monsters with the Summon Undead spell.

Tips & Tricks

  • While by no means harmless, jiangshi aren't capable of any particularly dangerous behavior; at most they tend to soak damage while other more exotic enemies assault you. Only worry about them if you've got very low AC or after defeating the more dangerous foes nearby.

Trivia

Jiangshi (otherwise known as hopping vampires) are taken from Chinese mythology and function much like the western notion of zombies. Covered in mold and stiffened by rigor mortis, they cannot move their legs sufficiently to walk, and thus hop at their prey before draining them of their qi.

History

Jiangshi were added in 0.13.
