Woodsman

The Woodsman is a Gaunt enemy found in Darkest Dungeon II encountered in all regions except The Mountain and only in road fights.

Description
The Woodsman can be found in every region in Road battles. Stronger than his Gaunt companions he serves as a tank for the team. It has the potential to cause large amounts of damage with its attacks and Fell the Tree is capable of automatically leaving heroes at Death's Door if it CRIT. Is also capable of cause stress, bleed  and a very low chance for  disease.  He supports the team with Guard, taking the blows of his allies for them and thanks to his high base HP , he is able to withstand several hits even if it falls in death's door.

Even if his past life is lost in time, he still maintains the strength and endurance after all these years, protecting his allies and striking merciless blows against the heroes. Maybe it's a protective instinct or a bit of humanity towards the Gaunts, whatever it is, the heroes will have to eliminate them.
