History Characters / DarkestDungeonIIMonsters

%% Monsters from all current and future DLC for any ''Darkest Dungeon'' game should be placed on the "DLC Monsters" page for better organizational clarity. The only exceptions to this rule are monsters added in free updates like the Chirurgeon, as seen below. Thank you.

* BodyHorror: The bodies of the Fanatics are all horribly burned with patches of red flesh having melted and barely hanging onto their bodies.

* {{Acrofatic}}: The Pit Fighters can use the Accelerant skill to accumulate Speed, which turns them from MightyGlacier to LightningBruiser in a few turns if the party doesn't get rid of them quickly enough.

* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Averted. The Cabin Boy cannot transform into another Fisherfolk on the first round of combat as a means of balance.

* TheFaceless: The Captain's face is constantly hidden in the shadows.

* ShoutOut: His most dangerous move is a party-wide Burn-inflicting attack called Burning Bright, which is an allusion to Creator/WilliamBlake's "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tyger The Tyger]]". It also references the third chapter of Literature/Fahrenheit451, fitting with the boss's theme of BookBurning.

* DropTheHammer: They carry large hammers resembling meat tenderisers, which they'll happily use to bash your heroes' heads in.

* BossInMookClothing: They are usually the primary heavy hitters of enemy compositions they're in and can pack a punch while taking a lot of damage, but they're not as dangerous or disruptive as fully-fledged bosses like Exemplars.
* DamageReduction: A Deacon will always immediately use The Flesh Warps at the start of the fight, which alternates between a 50% ranged damage resistance buff and a 50% melee damage resistance buff every turn.

* TurnsRed: If the Loathing of a given confession filles up completely, the Confession boss will gain a ''massive'' health and damage buff for the battle.

* TheSpook: The other lair bosses are just as much victims of the ailments that plague their respective areas as the rest of their faction. The Leviathan, meanwhile, simply appeared at the Shroud, perhaps lured in by the appearance of the mysterious idols, or perhaps arriving of its own will. It's motivations are unknown, as is whether it's an intelligent being or a mindless monster. All that is certain is that it caused the Fisherfolk to obtain their new forms, and has become an object of worship for them that needs to be taken down.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Plague Eaters are fond of the horrible thing they have helped birth, having put it in a cornucopia and put a wreath on its head.

* AchillesHeel: Being Immobilized and DamageOverTime. The Harvest Child is very good at distracting DPS heroes with its Putrid Meat, preventing them from doing damage and eating up valuable turns in your action economy, but also doesn't have that much health and its attacks don't do that much damage unless it's in rank 1. For this reason, if you can stack Bleed, Blight or Burn onto it while preventing it from getting to Rank 1 with Immobilizing tools(such as {{Bear Trap}}s), it can't really out-damage your healers and will crumble in just a few turns.

* LogicalWeakness: Categorize only forces the move if the heroes are ''not'' currently in alphabetical order. One such party composition that remains unaffected by this is, incidentally, 'The Usual Suspects' (Crusader, Highwayman, Plague Doctor, Vestal).

* FallenHero: The Lost Battalion once was once an army which fought for the Light. However, they've been slain and then turned into undead, so they now fight against the heroes.

* IncreasinglyLethalEnemy: In between rounds they will use an ability called Accelerant, which gives them a speed buff and applies Burn to their attacks. If they manage to do this multiple times they can start becoming {{Lightning Bruiser}}s, especially with their two actions per turn.

* FallenHero: The Light symbol on the back of the Drummer and the Dreaming General's standard suggests that the Lost Battalion once fought for the Light. However, they've been slain and then turned into undead, so they now fight against the heroes.

* AchillesHeel: Any move that gets rid of corpses will prevent them from eating them for health and from using their most powerful attacks.

* IncrediblyLamePun: One of his moves is called Coral Grief.
