Talk:The Darkness

Since it was mentioned on the Ogre-slaying knife page, this is also a reference to a skit by The Dead Alewives, about Dungeons and Dragons. In the skit, Galstaff, Sorceror of Light wants to cast a spell, and decides to cast Magic Missile, despite the fact that there are no enemies about; queried by the DM as to what he was attacking, he quips "I'm attacking the darkness!", which coincidentally is what a player says if you call The Darkness as a target. One presumes that the dev team likes either the skit, or the 8bit Theatre-inspired re-enactment of the skit ( http://www.flashplayer.com/animation/8bitdnd.html )--Epinephrine 14:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Conditions
Are they considered fleshy (subject to bleeding, etc.)? I don't find this information in here and they have no species to refer to for further info otherwise.--Vallen Frostweaver 07:37, 14 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Answered my own question through testing. They are fleshy.  I updated the page a while back.--Vallen Frostweaver 13:15, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Demons?
Are these things classed as demons? They don't drop the remains but they're UW creatures &mdash; Skuld 09:08, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

i suggest, like Nightmare Horde, this should be something like Darkness Horde. agree? disagree? --User:Aptaleon Griefhaven


 * It appears that they are part of the Shadow Army (or at least followers of Menzies). The base species is probably demon, at least for the Nightfall version. -- Gordon Ecker 05:04, 6 December 2006 (CST)

They don't always drop uniques
I just farmed them with a group, and one only dropped one item. Can't remember which, but it was not a green item.
