* KnifeNut: They all wield daggers and can throw [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kpinga kpinga]] to boot.

* KnifeNut: Some of them wield shivs that they pull on you when you get close. These look otherwise identical to the unarmed "worshipers".

Short, dirty looking humanoids inhabiting the Valley of Defilement, they come in [[KnifeNut Knife-wielding]], [[PlayingWithFire flaming pole using]], and Shaman varieties.

* KnifeNut: Some of them wield knifes.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Peter Marinker

* ActionBomb: The large and giant variants charge up and explode upon dying. The giant variant's explosion is so big that it can cause the [[UpToEleven framerate to dip!]]

* LightningBruiser: In contrast to their gold counterparts, the Black Skeletons swing fast and move at a decent clip. Taken UpToEleven at Pure Black World Tendency, when Black Phantoms of them spawn.

The enemies and bosses found within the lands covered in the Deep Fog. Head back through ''[[Characters/DemonsSouls here]]'' for other character pages. '''Unmarked spoilers ahead.'''

* CoolHat: The spear wielders also wear a wide-brimmed kettle hat.

* NiceHat: The Golden Robe turns into an (absurdly oversized) headwrap for the Black Phantom. This wrap would appear again in later Souls games, with a very similar appearance.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Chris Fairbanks

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: A very, ''very'' big spider. Its body is big enough; factor in the size of its legs and it's among the larger beings in the game (although still dwarfed by the Dragon God of course).

* GiantSpider: It's a spider, it's gigantic, it'll give any arachnophobe the shakes.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: This dragon is massive.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: This is the only way you can win his boss fight.

* OneHitKill: Don't let it see you. Just don't.
* PhysicalGod: To the Burrowers.

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Has two sets of teeth.
* RedEyesTakeWarning[=/=]RoarBeforeBeating: If this happens, get back behind a pillar quickly.

* BotanicalAbomination: It's ancient, it's powerful, it looks like a great tree but is capable of moving like an animal, it devours souls, and its motives are completely unknowable.

* BotanicalAbomination: The form we see it take looks like a mass of trees and brambles.

* EldritchAbomination: It's ancient, it's powerful, it looks like a great tree but is capable of moving like an animal, it devours souls, and its motives are completely unknowable.

* GodIsEvil: [[spoiler:Subverted. The god which Saint Urbain and his followers worship and the Old One are one and the same, but Allant claims the Old One is, itself, a creation of God.]]

* BadassBeard: He has a neat silver goatee and moustache.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: A hobby of his.

* NiceHat: The Golden Robe turns into an (absurdly oversized) headwrap for the Black Phantom.

* {{BFS}}[=/=]SinisterScimitar: An enormous curved sword made of crystal.

* TheJuggernaut: The Dragon God is too strong to fight like other enemies. It's attacks kill you instantly and you have to pin it with ballistas just to get close enough.

* TouchDamage: Can hurt you just by touching you thanks to their fiery bodies.

* GrandTheftMe: Try to Summon or get invaded? He intervenes and sends them to the top of the tower to control them.]

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: [[spoiler:Rather than fighting the Old Monk himself, you fight a Black Phantom he summons with his last breath.]]

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Implied by the Golden Robe.]]

* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Try to Summon or get invaded? He intervenes and sends them to the top of the tower to control them.]]
* MirrorBoss: [[spoiler:Due to being a Black Phantom. Sometimes said Black Phantom is another player.]]
* NiceHat: [[spoiler:The Golden Robe turns into a Headwrap, which counts.]]

* WolverineClaws: [[spoiler:The weapon of choice for the AI Black Phantom. Can be subverted if the opponent is human.]]

* EasyLevelTrick: when you enter the Leechmonger's boss area, you're situated high about it on a platform circling around the boss arena where it can't get at you, the boss itself rooted in place. While fire spells can't reach it all that well unless you drop onto a lower platform (which is puts you at risk of projectiles), there literally is nothing stopping you from staying up there and pelting it with fire arrows, since thanks to the Leechmonger's glaring weakness to fire, will burn thru his health far faster than it can be regenerated.

* ImpaledPalm: In Astraea's official artwork, her hands are bleeding down her clothes, implying something like this. [[ShoutOut Interestingly]], this gives her otherwise-white priest robes the red trim common among ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' [[WhiteMage White Mages]], a role which Astraea herself fits very well.
