Reaper (Lords of Shadow)

The Reaper is an enemy encountered in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. They resemble the common perception of Death. They often spawn in groups, and can be spawned by the second Necromancer.

Background
Only powerful sorcerers can summon and control these dangerous spirits. The Reapers are a corporeal manifestation of Death itself, their aspect depends on the beliefs of those who confront them, but most people perceive the Reapers as skeletal figures with long tunics, wielding large scythes.

Strategies
Reapers spawn in groups (of four or more). They are fairly weak as far as the amount of damage they can receive. However, there danger comes from there devasting attacks. One hit from a Reaper can take off a sizeable chunk of health. It is best to take them out quickly, and if there is room fight them from a distance, do not let them get close.
