Bodkin bloodbow

The Bodkin bloodbow is the latest member of the Bodkin family, introduced in the tenth game.

CharacteristicsEdit

The bloodbow is the most deadly of the archers, eschewing the camouflage tones of its brethren for bolder colors to flaunt its skill. In combat, they wield longbows as opposed to the shortbows of their comrades.

TriviaEdit

The bloodbow's red robes are possibly a reference to the Red Cap, a breed of murderous goblin hailing from the folklore of Yorkshire, England. The ferocious fey is said to kill sleeping travelers in their sleep and dye his hat in their blood, giving him his name.
