Leaper (Animal)
Sand Leaper, Cave Leaper,
Tomb Creeper, Tree Lurker, Cliff Lurker
These pesky creatures largely inhabit the desert regions. Although other species are known to
exist, the desert leapers are the most common. Leapers get their name from their tremendous
leaping ability. As a result, these extremely agile creatures make for difficult targets. Leapers
are versatile animals and the desert variety has an extremely slow resting metabolism to minimize
water use and storage. The harsh environment of the Aranoch, however, leaves little room for
mistakes, and these creatures never pass up the opportunity to eat or drink. Packs sighting a
potential meal leave their resting spots and work together to bring down their quarry with great
tenacity.
Tips and Other Additional Information
Leapers use an attack similar to the Barbarian's Leap Attack. Sometimes
it can be time-consuming to take out Leapers because they get knocked
back when they are struck. You can use Cold attacks to Freeze Leapers
in place while you attack them. Hold down the attack button once
you have selected a Leaper. You will continue to attack and follow
them around until the monster is killed. Area effect spells can
also help against Leapers.
Leapers have a chance to deal Poison damage in Nightmare and Hell.
Leapers cannot be revived.
