Bandits are humanoid enemies. They can have any kind of Equipment (except robes), depending on their type and quest difficulty, and their equipment is strictly fixed for each quest.

Attack set

• Bite - highlights a small area under the target, and then attacks this area after a short interval. The attack can be avoided by moving the subject away from this area. Note that this attack area does not need to be avoided entirely, as long as the game registers the Subject has moved.
• Stun - raises its head, and after a short interval, stuns one of the subjects, with causing damage. This attack can be avoided by moving the Subject, but the game does not visually show whom the Dragon is going to stun.

The following attacks will be used only if the boss's health drops below 50%:
