A vampiric thrall bound into servitude by esoteric rituals. Though its rigid limbs give it an awkward gait, it moves with surprising speed, leaping upon its victims and drinking their life essence with its vicious claws.

Useful Info

Jiangshi are undead monsters with two vampiric claw attacks and sixfirhy-like movement, except more erratic and slower overall. 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.

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 will be added in 0.13.
