Coal Tar

Coal Tar are enemies in Dark Souls II.

Description
Coal Tar are strange creatures resembling worms that reside in the tar pits of the Black Gulch. They hide within the pit until a potential meal approaches and then lunge towards them. They use their clawlike appendages to immobolize prey and rip them apart with their fanged maws.

Strategy
Coal Tars can be driven out of their pits using fire attacks such as firebombs and pyromancies. Alternatively, they can be lured out by slowly approaching the pit and rolling away when the creature emerges.

Coal Tar have little health and can be easily dispatched with any form of attack. However they can be dangerous if they corner the player and their tail swipes can knock them off the cliff. It is not advisable to trigger multiple Coal Tars at once.
