Hunters

​

Unlike most other bosses, these creatures do not spawn under normal circumstances nor can they be summoned directly.  They are drawn out during the dark hours and aim to absorb strong elemental creatures.  To manifest, they destroy the bodies of creatures near strong elemental creatures in order to gain the advantage of close ranged combat.  Their victims are marked with a purple gas cloud for a few seconds before birthing the hunter.  

​

Pets or items that emit charge light set these creatures alight and increase their vulnerability.   

 

If you become overwhelmed or do not want to face them, do not ride hybrid elemental creatures at night.  Alternatively, you could just await sunrise as they cannot maintain their forms during daylight.
