The mind fiend moves at slightly faster speeds to player characters, hovering above the floor.
Attacks-
The mind fiend’s initial attack is to lure players into a false sense of security by assuming the guise of a random NPC found throughout Sanctuary, this guise changes with each encounter. In this guise the mind fiend is only targetable as an NPC. Once in range the mind fiend shifts to its true form. The mind fiend is physically weak so often it changes forms once other demons have engaged player characters. In its true form the mind fiend is a master of the arcane, but often initially uses a spell that causes misdirection of player characters movement and use of abilities by remapping their movement and ability keys for the duration of the spell. The mind fiend will then use its ability to siphon off energy from player characters. The mind fiend can also cast arcane magic to deal direct damage from a distance.
Deaths-
Monster- When killed the mind fiend will crumple to the floor, the collected energy rushing from the top of it head out to player characters, replenishing lost energy.
Character- If a player character is killed by the mind fiend; it absorbs the rest of their energy replenishing its own.
Special Death, Monster- If the mind fiend is killed by a magic user who is using damage over time spells such as disintegration ray the mind fiend will absorb too much magical essence and begin glowing, then explode damaging surrounding monsters.
