Characteristics

Deadly dragonic dark knights that dash across the battlefield to lash out with dragon slash swipes and call on cure slimes to facility their frighteningly effective Fullheal spell. Dressed in deceptively bright and bold colours, these dastardly devilish knights give the game away with their arcane glowing evil eyes and a surprise Desperate attack that deals tremendous damage to awe struck adventurers.
