Torchbearer

Torchbearer is a hostile creature found throughout the village, where it patrols and guards specific locations. It attacks intruders on sight and will also try to sound the alarm to bring in reinforcements, making it one of the more dangerous common enemies in the area.

The Torchbearer’s attacks ignore armor, so relying on heavy protection does not make the fight much safer. Ranged weapons are the most straightforward answer, while melee engagements are best handled as quick hit-and-run exchanges with longer weapons such as spears.
