Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Enemies

Description		First Seen
	Grunoichi	P-1 The Tragic Duel
	Most likely a portmanteau of grunt and kunoichi (くノ一, kunoichi? , lit. "female ninja"), these green-robed shinobi run straight from a side without ever changing direction. At a distance they sporadically toss Shuriken that can be deflected, while at close-range they simply slash once.
	Shuriken Jumper	P-1 The Tragic Duel
	These purple-robed shinobi leap into the air and toss a single Shuriken, changing direction based on the player's position. They're also often found atop or hanging from ledges, switching position as the player approaches them. They do not possess any close-range ability.
	Dasher	P-1 The Tragic Duel
	These swordsmen slowly walk towards the player, then charge forward unsheathing their blade with heavy momentum. They're completely immune while executing their attack, so the player needs to either jump behind them or dodge through the quickdraw.
	Ghost Hawk	P-1 The Tragic Duel
	These birds of prey swoop down on the player, regaining altitude afterwards to swoop down again from the other side.
	Leaper	1-2 Seized by Dark Forces
	These lesser fiends perform short jumps while approaching the player in a single direction. They often hold Hypercharge essence, appearing in tandem with stronger enemies.

	These fiends charge at the player, stopping only to change direction, and can jump off and on platforms when needed. They often hold Hypercharge essence, appearing in tandem with stronger enemies.
	Oni Blocker	1-2 Seized by Dark Forces
	These strong fiends are mostly stationary, breathing fire from an angle as the player approaches. Their shield is impervious to regular attacks, as such one needs to either Guillotine Boost behind him or to use a Hypercharge attack. These enemies are often encountered along lesser foes holding Hypercharge essence.
	Jack-o'-Murderer	1-2 Seized by Dark Forces
	These creatures toss a barrage on knives in an arch. The player can Guillotine Boost off each knife to close the distance and strike the enemy directly. Kumori's regular projectile Kunai often collides with the knives, so at a distance it's better to use Spider Weapon Arts against these enemies.
	Cursed Fire	1-2 Seized by Dark Forces
	These skulls slowly float towards the player, heating up for a charge attack when at close-range. They often hold Hypercharge essence, appearing in tandem with stronger enemies.
	Heavy Blocker	1-3 After the Demons!
	These warriors toss a giant Windmill Shuriken that then boomerangs back to them. They also come equipped with a greatshield that blocks regular attacks.

They are often encountered along lesser foes holding Hypercharge essence.

	Stout Demon	2-1 Midnight Assault
