Cloakers are a race of Aberration found in Act Two. Though they ambush in shadows and attack alone, they can summon illusory copies of themselves to bolster their forces.

Tactics

• The Cloaker will be  Ambushing, forcing the player to pass a DC 18 Perception check to avoid getting  Surprised. This check can be triggered on the toadstool platform at X: -805 Y: -862, the elevated position of which allows for easy high ground for initiating combat.
• It has a multiattack which can be used when enemies are  Frightened. However, only its phantasms can cause the frightened condition.
