Strategies

• Despite their size, they can be backstabbed.
• They hate light. They cower and retreat from anyone with a Torch, too afraid to fight back. The ones in the open also scamper off to hide indoors if you activate the Pharros contraption that lights up the cavern.
• Standing and tanking their attacks is a quick way to get hit by a Bleed effect that eats your health and prevents you from fleeing. Evade their swings instead.
