Leaper
Leapers are Animals.
Leapers are aptly-named, since they regularly propel themselves in wild hopping attacks. They also engage in ankle-slashing melee combat, and can even deal poison damage on Nightmare and Hell difficulties.
Killing Leapers can be time-consuming, since they flop backwards when they are hit, moving out of melee range each time. They also tend to run if chased. It's best to stand and wait for them to come to you, and try to knock them back into a wall or other object so they will hold still and die. Leapers can be frozen, locking them into place, and they are highly susceptible to ranged attacks, such as Strafe.
Leapers cannot be Revived by the Necromancer's spell, though skeletons can be raised from their corpses.
- All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.
