Zombie file · Sands of Time ~ Closing In
Lantern Imp
Airborne by day, flat on the ground by night. Normal attacks often miss.
Lore
Lantern Imp holds an iron lantern and flies in the air, avoiding most attacks while slowly descending over time. When it lands, it damages plants it crashes into.
During the day, it takes off again after resting on the ground for a while. At night, it lies flat, avoids most damage, and eventually detonates the lantern. Compared with local Sands of Time zombies, it feels more like an explorer brave enough to challenge difficulty itself.
