The death animation for such monsters is delightful, with the monster stopping and shuddering as the demonic spirit leaks back out, before the corpse detonates in a spray of gore.

These creatures are what [[Dark Vessel]]s transform into, if they successfully summon a demon into their own bodies. Activated Vessels are mutated, half-demonic things who fight furiously and move very quickly. It's a good idea to kill off the Dark Vessels before they can activate, if at all possible.

Thralls are human cultists, Vessels that have let themselves be filled by a demonic presence, distorting them into a mutated monster of great power. Activated Vessels are demons.

Cultist summoners can be found alone, but are often encountered in circles of five or more individuals, all of whom are working actively to surrender their lives and bodies to a possessing demonic power. Players are well-advised to kill as many of the Vessels as possible, before they can call down a demon and become a more dangerous Activated Vessel.

They have a Thrall Dash which allows them to move very quickly toward you before attacking your with a physical melee attack.
