Flying Scimitar
Flying Scimitars are Objects.
Flying Scimitars appear from trapped chests, most often in Act Two, but in other acts as well, and on all difficulties. They hover in the air, chopping at the head of any nearby character or character's minion, and will pursue targets indefinitely, though they move quite slowly and can easily be left behind.
They do not drop gold or potions or runes or anything but scimitars, whether normal, exceptional, or elite.
- All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.
