Description

The Clinking Man is a zombie that shambles very slowly toward its victim, and once near enough, he lunges forward and falls flat on his face while attempting to inflict physical damage.

The Zombie Thief is just a palette swap and behaves exactly the same, although he is a bit more resilient.

Both variants drop the Prison Garb, an armor that provides STR +5 and DEF +20, making it a good item to look for the first time these enemies are encountered.

Furthermore, the Zombie Thief has a chance of dropping the valuable Luck Ring, which grants a LCK +50 boost. A good place for farming this accessory is in the room just before entering the Machine Tower, where two of them can be found near the entrance.

Trivia

• The name "Clinking Man" may hint they rattle a prison cage bar or drag shackles, similar to those victims often seen in the backgrounds of some prison stages in other installments of the series.
