Hardest enemies to kill in the whole game. I cheezed most of them from a distance with poison arrows and Poison Mist. If you're patient, you still have to inflict poison on them THREE TIMES in NG just to kill one.

Still, better safe than sorry. They have high defense, a ton of health, their forward lunge is unblockable and covers a lot of floor area, and their fireballs do a lot of stamina damage (not to mention only one shield that I know of has 100% fire damage reduction, the Gyrm Greatshield).
