-Can't think of a good introduction for people reading the article-
Edit: Changed some things dealing with damage types, as suggested by Zyborg. (And then Severage)
Edit: Changed Attacks a little so they weren't glorified Greavers that chafe.
Voorpents would be a triangular skull, much like that of a real-life Viper, followed by a thick trail of energy, making it appear serpentine as is flies through the air.
Voorpents would be Fiends, resisting Shadow damage and being weak to Piercing.
Attack- Upon seeing a knight, the Voorpent would rush towards the Knight, then hover at a distance far enough away to avoid the first sword slash of a Leviathan blade and chafe to the right of the Knight, making it a pain to try and hit with swords. When executing an attack, the Voorpent would circle 180 degrees to get behind the knight, and then attack by lashing it's tail (Causing Status effects and Shadow damage) or biting (Causing Shadow damage). The whole attack would take about one second to complete, leaving little time to put up a shield. Another attack would a beam of energy shot from the mouth of the skull. The beam would stretch all the way across the player's screen. In addition on T2 and T3, there would be an energy discharge with the radius of a Super Blast bomb that would damage players within it's range. However, this attack would take four seconds to charge, giving Knights time to 'knock over' the Voorpent or run.

So what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Don't really care all that much? Any suggestions?
Tell me!
Instead of making an entirely new monster family for just one monster type, it might be better to make the Voorpents fiends. Since they're basically floating skulls followed by an energy trail, it makes more sense for them to deal and resist Shadow damage instead of Elemental.
Also, I see people with a lot of lag really hating these monsters (another reason to make them fiends).
