At 0.7 seconds a swing for 130, sustained contact costs roughly 186 health per second. The charge multiplier takes it from 12 to 26.4 while closing.

Behaviour

Ghostly

Translucent and hovering above the terrain. Player-built walls and structures do not block it, so safespotting has no effect.

Charges

Multiplies its movement speed while closing mid-range distance, then drops back to base speed on contact. Freezing effects are the only reliable brake.

Boss

Attacks on a 0.7-second cadence instead of the standard 1.1, and announces itself in the message log on spawn. One instance may be alive in its region at a time.

Drops

Coins and experience are awarded separately and are not part of the drop table.

Location

DEATH spawns inside Death, a region of radius 19 centred on 160, -120. It occupies slot 3 of 3 on that spawn table, and being a unique boss it clears only 0.5% of rolls — and only when no other instance is alive. It shares the table with 3 other creatures.

Others on this spawn table

• Grim Servant 220 HP
• Bone Steed 300 HP
• Grave Hound 220 HP

Strategy

• Walls will not stop it — build for footing and sightlines, not for cover.
• Fight in contact or from well outside its approach band; the middle distance is where it doubles speed.
• Only one may be alive in the region at a time — clear the trash first so nothing adds mid-fight.
• At 130 a hit, two connected swings will end most unarmoured players. Armour matters more than damage here.
