Relic Hunter (Timeless)

The Relic Hunter is an enemy from Timeless that can be found during levels of Lost City. He will appear very close or even just above the player, slowly falling down from lianas or ropes, and stopping on command to attack players with his claw-like finger. He can also swing into the lawn using ropes, or appear normally 
==Game Mechanics==
Relic Hunters will appear from the trees, with ropes and vines wrapped over their body, and they will start falling, slower than a regular fall but still quick until they reach the height of the player ; from there, they will start attacking with their claws, sometimes swinging a bit to reach them, and unravelling their rope if needed to get closer. If they reach the ground, or if the rope/vines are unraveled on more than 15 meters, the Relic Hunter will walk freely and get untangled
==Appearance and origins==
He wears mainly kaki clothes, with an often sheaveless vest, a shirt under it, pants with a large amounts of pockets, muddy rubber boots and a large green hat. He sometimes has a pouch, a lasson his belt or even a machete hanging from it ; various plants and vines are caught in is weathered clothing, and a few of them are directly attached to him, while some simply hang from his body
==Strategies==
Altough they are mostly seen like basic zombies, due to the player's high speed that allows them to avoid being stuck with them, the Relic Hunters are a true nightmare for people that are stuck in quicksand, or that attempt to defend a certain area ; in the first (and also the worst) case, they will often have the upper hand, since you are stuck half in the mud and cannot really move out of their way. The best strategy here is to either shoot them with a Winchester/Revolver, if you can aim while they are dropping next to you, or to wait until they get close to strike with a Machete, but the latter method can still lead to you getting harmed in the process. 
In the second case, these undeads are still very annoying, due to their abilities to easily drop behind defenses or even right on top of you, making these a pain in the butt for those who are trying to stay organized or are fighting a large horder. To prevent this, keep a player equipped with something quick and powerful like a firearm to take them down before they can harm or deconcentrate the other characters, which may be occupied dealing with larger threats. If the Relic Hunters are still difficult to deal with, simply adopt a hit-and-run strategy so they cannot drop directly next to you
