Spookie

Spookie is a floating ghost enemy found in The Boneyard and The Infinite, serving as one of the primary spell-disruption threats in the undead chapters. With 9 HP, 5 damage, and 4 movement, it is reasonably fast and hits hard for its health pool. As a flying undead ghost, it moves via teleportation, bypassing all terrain, obstacles, and tile effects to reach any target on the battlefield. Spookies can spawn from destroyed Gravestones alongside the more dangerous Scary enemy, adding an element of risk to any strategy involving terrain destruction in The Boneyard.

The Spookie's signature attack is a melee lick that deals 5 damage while completely draining all of the target's Mana in a single hit. For spell-dependent cats, this is devastating: a single Spookie lick can shut down an entire turn's worth of casting by emptying the Mana pool. This makes Spookies particularly dangerous against caster-heavy parties that rely on spells for damage, healing, or crowd control. The mana drain is total regardless of how much Mana the target had, making even high-Mana cats equally vulnerable.

Being incorporeal, the Spookie dies instantly when knocked prone, making knockdown abilities an efficient counter that bypasses its 9 HP entirely. Physical-focused cats that do not rely on Mana are naturally resistant to its threat since the mana drain does not affect their combat effectiveness. During Dybbuk boss fights, spawned Spookies will flee if the boss is defeated, so focusing the boss can clear them indirectly. The Necromancer class can summon allied Spookies via the Seance spell, turning the mana-drain mechanic against enemies with multi-attack abilities that depend on casting resources. Champions have 18 HP, 6 damage, and 5 movement, making them faster and harder to eliminate before they reach your casters.
