Bone Keeper

==Description==
The Bone Keeper is a monster found in the Eternal Gale. It can also appear in the Depths Trial at the power 20 trial with high drowns, potentially Corrupted.
Bone Keepers are giant, humanoid creatures, with inhuman proportions, having short legs yet large arms. It has noticeably clawed feet, with bone claws for hands. They sport a red and gold loincloth of sorts on their lower body and lack clothing on their upper half. Their head also appears to be made out of a cylindrical formation of bones.
These monsters are incredibly mobile and hard-hitting enemies. They are certainly a large difficulty step-up from the mobs found in Layer 1, however all of their attacks are well telegraphed and can be avoided with proper experience. They do large damage, so be wary of messing up. (Especially if the Bonekeeper is corrupted.)

Name 	Description 	Media	Parryable?	Blockable?	Dodgeable?	Danger
Crushing Grab 	The Bone Keeper will make an indication of an unparriable attack with a noise cue and eye symbol before swinging its right arm sideways. If this attack lands, the player hit will be grabbed and take devastating damage. The range makes it nothing to worry about though, as simply holding S when you see the red flash is enough to dodge it. Autogrips.	 	✗ 	◯ 	◯ 	(★★★)
Charge 	The Bone Keeper will ready for a run before charging forward, dealing considerable damage and blockbreaking. The Bone Keeper skids to a stop and faces you if this is successfully parried. 	 	◯ 	✗ 	◯ 	(★★☆)
Triple Slash 	The Bone Keeper will wind up its right arm, then thrust forward with a triple-slash attack with its arm spinning. 	 	◯ 	◯ 	◯ 	(★☆☆)
Leap (After Triple Slash)	The Bone Keeper will thrust its right arm forward, initiating a triple-hit attack before leaping towards its target, dealing serious damage if all attacks are left unattended. The arm can be parried, but the leap cannot be blocked, parried, or dodged. It has a small hitbox, though, so rolling out of the way or towards the Bonekeeper immediately after parrying its arm slash is sufficient. The leap will autogrip you.
Moving away from the leap is almost always enough to completely dodge the move.	 	✗ 	✗ 	✗ 	(★★☆)
Bone Spikes 	The Bone Keeper will stomp the ground, emitting a long carpet of spikes in front of it. (You don't normally dodge this, just jump over them.) 	 	✗ 	✗ 	 	
(★★☆) 	 	 	 	 	 	
Femur Throw 	The Bone Keeper will dig into the ground with its right arm before pulling out a femur which it will then throw towards the target at absurd speeds. It is important to know this femur behaves as a projectile and therefore can hit walls and other objects. The timing to parry this is difficult, but it does much less damage than its other attacks. 	 	◯ 	✗ 	◯ 	(★★☆)

==Trivia==
*Bone Keepers used to heal at a rate of 20 HP per second (60 HP when Corrupted). This made them extremely tedious to defeat at times, locking out lower DPS builds from fighting them. After being made to fight it with Jus Karita and no equipment, which resulted in 70+ deaths, developer Ragoozer had it removed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVWCMiHQY4w
**This same update also buffed Jus Karita.
*Bone Keepers are likely related to the Kyrsgarde in Firfire and Floor 2 of the Eternal Gale, due to possessing similarities in appearance, down to the red hue on parts of its bones. It most closely resembles the Kyrsgarde Brute.
*The Femur Throw and Charge used by the Bone Keeper you encounter at the bridge do not cause knockback. This is the only Bone keeper with this feature as all the other Bone Keepers you encounter have knockback on these moves.
*They're called "boneboy" in the game files.
