Vanitas (Wyrms of Nyrus)

"Both alive and dead, this twisted image of humanoids grabs the soul and never lets go."

The Vanitas is a zombie-like humanoid created by the Hive Creep.

Spawning

There's only two ways a Vanitas spawns:

On a Creep Pod spawning on invasion events, and opening, they spawn in small groups.
When any Creeped kills the following:
- The player
- Villagers
- Zombies (and Zombie Pigmen)
- Illagers
- Feral Ghouls (from Nuclearcraft)^[1]

Abilities

The Vanitas, upon seeing any living entity that isn't a Wyrm or Creeped entity, will announce it's aggro with a horrific cry, and immediately sprint towards their target with no chance of losing aggro unless if line-of-sight is broken for long enough.
