Overview
Dementares are some of the most terror-inducing creatures known to the wizarding world. While there are several other daunting beasts among the magical animal kingdom, it’s no competition: Dementares are the worst of them all. They have a humanoid shape, float at ten feet tall, and cover their bodies in long black cloaks. Their skin beneath is grey, withered and decayed. Their faces are nightmare-inducing, with no features or eyes, only a hole for their mouth. Regardless of their blindness, they can sense human presence and emotions.
They move around by means of free-flying and hovering, although the full range of distance they’re able to go above the ground is untested due to the inherent unpredictability and danger of being near Dementares. They have cold auras that freeze water, and anyone who spends too much time around them develops a chill, or in extreme cases pneumonia. Players can expect to run into them only after graduating during the quests The Dementare’s Kiss and Relics of the Past Part IV. If they should meet beyond those quests, it can only be assumed that they’ve done something beyond the pale.
Behaviour and Defence
The Ministry of Magicians has long been allied with the Dementares, using them as a sort of guard system at the Dark Prison, where they keep their most dangerous criminals and convicts. Some oppose this decision, as the Dementares aren’t exactly ethical overlords, using the prisoners as food as they suck out their emotions and fear, but others consider it the just desserts of the villains kept in the prison. Most of the inmates are driven insane after enough time spent with the Dementares.
The only way to fight them is by using the Animus Exto spell, which is notoriously difficult to learn and cast. The user must channel all of their positive energy and memories into the spell which can be difficult and tiring. Most experienced wizards are advised to think of a happy memory in order to successfully cast the spell. Once it is successfully cast, a bright white force of energy and positive emotions bursts from the wand taking the form of an animal unique to the caster. The animal is thought to be the heart and soul of the caster, and when directed at a Dementare, they will hiss and flee as if burned. However, because of the difficulty and complication involved with casting it, most less competent wizards find it nearly impossible to fight off a Dementare alone.
If you find yourself in said situation, facing a Dementare alone without the benefit of experience with the Animus Exto spell, there are a few basic facts about their skill sets you need to know. Dementares have 5560 HP to work with, so it’s incredibly difficult to defeat them by raw magic power alone. On contact, they deal 1112 damage. On top of that, they have special abilities that charge up when they’re attacking their victims, dealing 1600 damage, second only to their swipe which deals 1668 damage. If any student below graduate level should run into these soul-suckers, they ought to say their prayers and start sprinting the other direction because graduates are the only players equipped with the skills needed to defeat the Dementares.
Habitat
The exact origin of Dementares is unknown. When the original owner of the Dark Prison, a long-dead, evil man, passed, and the island was finally revealed to the Ministry of Magicians, the very first investigations revealed the presence of the Dementares. Some believe they’re the remainders of the island’s dark past, victims of the previous owners’ sadism, and others believe they’ve always been there. In either case, there is no record of them before the discovery of the Dark Prison. There is no form of vegetation or life that appears naturally on the stormy island, and so the Dementares remain there, feeding on the prisoners of the Ministry.
Defeat
Upon defeat, Dementares have a chance of dropping Native Iron, Fragile Leather, Rough Diamond, Brittle Elder, Dementare Bones, Dementare Nails, and Dementare Bogies. These ingredients can be used in Professions items like the Dark Cocoacursed Delights VIII, Charming Fizz Tea VIII, Hijinx Mixture VIII, Cursed Brew VIII, Dark Cocoacursed Delights IX, Charming Fizz Tea IX, Hijinx Mixture IX, and Cursed Brew IX, and crafting Lvl 71-80 gear. Dementares also have a small chance of dropping random Lvl 71-80 gear recipes and broom recipes
