Cleaver (Enemy)

Cleavers are large enemies found in the Forgotten Sepulcher and the Morass of the Banished. They are slow, but have a lot of health and deal great damage.

Behavior
The Cleaver's only behavior is it will throw its axe at the player when aggroed. It will not attack again until the axe has returned to the Cleaver (or its equivalent time if the Cleaver was moved or disabled).

Strategy
Cleavers are predictable but tanky enemies. They have only one attack, but it's dangerous and persists a long time. The axe has a large hitbox, long reach, and can hit multiple times. Do not be against a wall while an axe is hurtling towards you or it will spell certain death if you get hit.

The Cleaver is completely vulnerable from the rear. If you're close to the Cleaver, roll behind it before it throws the axe. If you're too far, roll through or jump over the axe first then jump or roll behind the Cleaver. Don't roll into the Cleaver too early or you might get hit by its melee attack.

Watch out for the axe when it comes back. If the Cleaver is dead or stunned or frozen, the axe will continue its trajectory. Remember to jump over or dodge them.
