I disagree with the guy above me about Death. I think a lot of his potency as an enemy comes from the fact that he actually, legitimately kills your pawns. Pawn death in DD is practically a non-issue in most situations, since it takes you half a second to pat them on the head and get them up, with no expense to the player.

With Death, he makes you feel it, and he should, because he's fucking Death. Yeah, it's obnoxious to backtrack to the nearest riftstone to get your pawns back, but after every bout with him, with all my pawns dead, I felt drained, alone, and vulnerable. The eerie silence that follows every one of his encounters helps establish the fact that you just got beasted and serves as a reminder that you just stood toe-to-toe with the grim himself.
