Even if the Darklurker isn't technically a God, he certainly has powers befitting one. The only other enemy in the game that has astounded me with its powers was Aldia and even he is (debate-ably) outdone by the Darklurker. While being a master of Pyromancey and Dark Magic may not be a huge deal, for whatever reason the Darklurker is able to clone itself and open portals that it can send projectiles through. It's a shame that so little is known about one of the most interesting enemies in the series.
