Ripper (Darkness)

The Rippers are lone sentry masters originated from the Dark World comic/story series. One of the many creatures created by The Darkness, they are one of the uncommon elite units of the Dark Creatures.

Physiology
A tall, hunchback human-like creature on crooked, mechanical stilts that form a raptor-like bipedal. It wears a large cloak that covers the whole body, which strangely no matter how, the cloth won't ever be taken off or show the slightest of the torso. It wears a plague doctor’s beak-like mask which can be speculate to be the actual face.

Abilities
It’s very skillful in wielding a mechanical, which is a large-blade sickle on a three-jointed staff. The stilts allowed for superb jumping abilities due to the springs and joints. What makes it more fearsome is its ability to summon and command the Squires, similar to a hunter and his hunting dogs. Can summon them via a horn.

Behavior
Due to its appearance of a crooked old man, it walks slowly and limping most of the time. Nothing much changes during its attack phase (without the "hounds"), just a old man who turned out to be a veteran.
