Hopeless creature

Hopeless creatures are encountered during A Soul's Bane, in the Dungeon of Tolna. You must kill all 5 to make the Bridge of Hope appear. Each one needs to be killed 3 times before they die. They will retreat from you once you kill one of their forms. Every time you defeat it, it becomes smaller. Every time you eat while fighting this monster, it heals the monster 75% of its current lifepoints.

These monsters sometimes attack with ranged during the quest. Also when poisoned it does  NOT  carry on the poison to its next, smaller form.
