Iron lich

Iron Liches are enemies in Heretic. Despite their names, Iron Liches are not the typical skeleton-like foes in robes others may be accustomed to. They are, in fact, giant skulls wearing spiked helmets, and as the name suggests, made completely of iron. Iron Liches have the ability to cast different kinds of spells, which include:


 * A 'wall' of fire which spreads out vertically.
 * An ice ball which splits into multiple shards when it hits a target or a wall.
 * A tornado which relentlessly chases and throws players into the air if they get too close to it.

The structure and magic of the Iron Lich is done in such a way that it cannot be transformed by the Morph Ovum. When killed, they sometimes drop a claw orb or Morph Ovum.

Iron Liches are first encountered at the end of the first episode of Heretic: City of the Damned. They will appear as normal enemies in later levels, and a group of Iron Liches guards the exit in the last level of the Ossuary, the fourth episode of Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders.
