Patient

The Patient is a Gaunt enemy in Darkest Dungeon II, encountered exclusively at the Chirurgeon's Table. They are considered the Champion version of the Lost Soul.

Description
Patients are the subjects of the Chirurgeon's questionable medical practices. Being covered in bloodsucking leeches, they have an especially pallid look compared to their regular Lost Soul counterpart.

While not particularly threatening on their own, they become quite threatening when buffed by the Chirurgeon's Leucotomy skill, which grants them a Crit Token, and the ability to steal tokens from heroes. They are also much healthier than their regular counterparts, having roughly double most of the base stats of the Lost Soul, most notably their Max HP, possibly lending some strange credibility to the Chirurgeon's unorthodox treatments.

They defend their hero with what little remains of their lives; inflicting Weaken tokens for the Chirurgeon to cure with Trepanation, and a Bleed resist debuff to enable his Bone Saw attack. Their Chomp also has a much higher chance to inflict disease, for the Chirurgeon to then cure with Bloodletting.
