Humanity Ghosts

These apparitions are actually larger forms of the Humanity items that the player crushes in their hand. These Humanity Ghosts are slow moving, docile enemies found in the Chasm of the Abyss.

Although the ghosts have no real form of attack, they will hurt the player upon touching them. For this reason it is best to use ranged attacks, or at the very least a long reaching melee weapon. They are very weak, often dieing in 1 or 2 hits, so it does not take long to clear out a small group of them. Upon contact, they will do a moderate amount of damage. Make sure your character doesn't get swarmed heavily, unless you wish to die to these otherwise harmless ghosts. It is important to note that they also drop Humanity. It is a rare drop, but if the player kills all of them in one run, it is likely they will receive at least 1 Humanity.
