Strigoi



Strigoi is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

These flying beasts have similar appereances to that of a Gargoyle except they are slightly bigger and possess a red colored skin. They fly around delivering lunges and can also attack with their stinger at the end of their tail (usually this is a grab move) and suck the lifeblood of the Arisen and pawns making them a bit stronger in the process.

 * They can drain health from anyone caught by its stinger.

Trivia
