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 who have 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.

History

Jiangshi will be added in 0.13.
