Notes

• Their grab attack will suck out 2 of your insight.
• Stronger variations are very reminiscent of Mind Flayer from Demon's Souls in that they will shoot a ranged attack which stuns the player before going in for a grab attack and are extremely dangerous in every situation in which they are encountered.
• mashing the trigger buttons when grabbed has a partial damage reduction.

Attack Patterns

• Grab
• 4-5 hit melee flurry
• (After successful grab) head flail
• (Stronger version) Orbs from the ground that stun
• (Stronger version) Orbs fired forward that stun

General Strategy

They are very resistant to all physical damage except for thrust, bring a spear-like weapon and some fire paper. Avoid being hit by the blue orb attacks at all costs.
