Includes: The shape of the Dark Venom's head is the same as Venom's /Spiderman's rival/ head. That is the only similarity with Spiderman's rival except the name. He has sharp long teeth. His skin is presented by square flakes. The flakes colour is black or dark green /almost black/ - your choice /I prefer dark green/. He wears armor, sword and shield. The shield should be bigger than in the picture /sorry I didn't draw it - I'll do it in the next picture/ All his gear is black. He has two tails coming out of the bottom of his waist. The tails have spikes on top of them. His body is strong and massive.

Height /without tails/ - 2,5 meters
Tails length - long enough to reach ant hit an enemy from above the shoulders.

Items Dropped

Dark Venoms drop all kinds of good items usually rare and unique. They drop up to six items when they die.

Experience

Dark Venoms give lot of experience, because they are a Mini boss class monsters.

Spells and Abilities

Invisibility /when standing still/

The ability to become invisible when standing still in the dark, in bushes or in deep swamps.

Poison Breath

A poison cloud that comes out of the Dark Venom's mouth.

Charge

Like the paladin Charge. The Dark Venom charges with his sword.

Smite

The Dark Venom smites your character with his shield. Stuns your character.

Unholy Conviction Aura

An aura that lowers your character's defence and resistances.

Vampiric Weapon

The Dark Venom raises his sword and it starts to glow in dark red. Then the next 10 blows are vampiric - they steal your character's life.

Background

Dark Venoms can be found in dungeons, caves, mountains, jungles, forests and swamps. They have the special ability to become invisible when standing still in the dark, in bushes or in swamps. They fight aggressively and never run from battle. Dark Venoms have the ability called Poison breath - they spread a poison cloud trough their mouth. They also have two paladin abilities - Charge and Smite - they charge with their sword and smite with their shield. Another special skill is the Unholy Conviction aura - it lowers your character's defence and resistances. Their last ability is called Vampiric weapon - when activated their sword becomes vampiric and steals life. Dark Venoms usually stalk their victim hidden in the dark, in bushes or in swamps by their invisibility skill. When the victim comes close, the Dark Venom attacks and becomes visible. They use the Vampiric weapon and the Unholy Conviction aura when their health is lower than 50%. One Dark Venom usually comes in a company of one, two or three Black Hand Mages. They can also become invisible and use the stalking method of the Dark Venom. This is a deadly combination of sword and sorcery and is a big challenge to your character /I will soon add the Black Hand Mages so you will be able to see them/. Rumor has it that Dark Venoms unified with the Black Hand Mages because of the mutually protection they have.

Height /without tails/ - 2,5 meters
Tails length - long enough to reach ant hit an enemy from above the shoulders.

Dark Venoms die by spreading a big sprinkle of black blood and then they fall on their knees and then on their face. The tails squiggle for a while. Their blood spills in a puddle.
