A cold and hollow apparition of the drowned dead, chained by some lingering attachment to the depths in which it perished. It rushes to embrace the living, sharing the last moments of its watery fate with whatever it touches.

Useful Info

Drowned souls are fragile summoned undead creatures which seek out the living and attempt to drown them, inflicting modest asphyxiation damage and destroying themselves in the process. They normally only appear when summoned by merfolk avatars.

Tips & Tricks

Species that are amphibious (Barachi, Merfolk, Octopode) or otherwise unbreathing (undead, Djinni, Gargoyles) cannot be damaged by drowned souls, so have little to fear.
Don't waste time targeting them; the avatar will simply summon more souls, likely faster than you can kill them off. Do what you can to kill the avatar, which instantly banishes all drowned souls.
- Merfolk avatars will usually flee to deep water if you try to approach them. This makes melee more difficult.

History

Drowned souls were added in 0.14.

Sirens usually flee into deep water, making melee a poor option. Use ranged weapons, [[Bolt spells]], or any other tools at your disposal to hit the summoner in spite of the wall of intervening summons.
