==Useful Info==
'''Death knights''' are human followers of [[Yredelemnul]]. They can cast [[Agony]] and hurl umbral torchlights. Small circle of [[Aura#Umbra|umbra]] surrounds them as well. They spawn in [[the Vaults]], as well as [[the Crypt]] - usually with undead like [[freezing wraith]]s, [[phantasmal warrior]]s, and [[flayed ghost]]s.

As followers of Yredelemnul, death knights are unaffected by [[umbra]]'s accuracy penalty. As humans, they are not vulnerable to [[holy wrath]].

==Tips & Tricks==
*Agony is basically [[torment]], so it hurts a lot. A [[potion of lignification]] gives immunity to this spell. Having high [[willpower]] reduces the chance of it affecting you.
*[[Hurl Torchlight]] may [[Might|empower]] Death knight's undead allies as well as damage you, possibly making it dangerous. However followers of [[Yred]] and undead species are immune to its damage.

==History==
*In [[0.34]] Death knights received higher HD/AC/HP/EV and [[Injury Mirror]] was replaced with [[Hurl Torchlight]], spell similar to one of [[Yred]]'s abilities. Small umbra surrounding them was added as well. They can no longer be met in late dungeon but mostly in [[the Vaults]]. Bands and equipment probability were also adjusted.
*Prior to [[0.18]], death knights could cast [[Haunt]], and could not be found in the Dungeon.
*Prior to [[0.17]], death knights could cast [[Drain Life]] and [[Animate Dead]] instead of Agony and Haunt.
*Death knights replaced [[deep dwarf death knight]]s in [[0.15]].
