Dancers are enemies added in v1.8, the Bestiary Update. They appear exclusively within the Slumbering Sanctuary.

Behavior[]

Dancers are capable of stabbing towards the player repeatedly.

If the Beheaded attempts to attack the Dancer or parry their attacks, the Dancer will instantly end their own attack and perform a short dash. This ability is on a short cooldown.
