Dark bishop



Dark Bishops are Hexen's equivalent of the Disciples of D'Sparil from Heretic. Dark Bishops are can take more damage than the disciples, with 220 Hit Points, but not necessarily more dangerous, since their projectiles do less damage. Dark Bishops can move around fast, leaving afterimages of themselves behind, and shoot homing fireballs that move in an awkward rotation pattern and first appear in the third hub, Heresiarch's Seminary.

When a Dark Bishop is killed, it will hurt the player if they are too close to the explosion radius of the Dark Bishop that is dying. This explosion also hurts monsters, so it can be used to the player's advantage.

The Heresiarch also summons them to aid him in battle (just like how D'Sparil summons Disciples).
