Infected Blackguard Thief

Infected Blackguard Thief
The Infected Blackguard Thief behaves the same as its Infected Blackguard Knight counterparts, save for one major difference: on death, the swollen spores bulging out the back of its corpse will explode in a last-ditch attempt to take its killer with it. They attack in conjunction with Infected Blackguard Knights, but have low HP and a very straight-forward behavior, as they are controlled by an infectious spore with reanimating qualities. Adventurers should still be wary of these enemies, who if given the chance will deal a surprisingly damaging claw strike.

Weapons / Attacks
The Infected Blackguard Thief does not wield any weapons, but attacks with its own natural weapons. These creatures rush wildly towards Adventurers in ungainly strides, closing into melee distance where they attempt to strike their target with claws. Upon death, the Infected Blackguard Thief will begin to shake violently before bursting spores around its collapsing body. The spores have the same quality as the Molder's gas attack: it drains the target's HP and Stamina, and may even cause them to stop and vomit.
