The Sheruvian initiate is much as a monk of the same order, a foul spawn of inhuman parents with a head shaved smooth and covered in dark, mystic runes though fewer and less elaborate. What they appear to lack in intelligence, they make up for in belligerence.[1]

Other Information

Any attacks made to a Sheruvian initiate will occasionally fail and cause the player to incur a 5 second roundtime. This also includes attempted combat maneuvers against the Sheruvian initiate. This is shown through the following message:

As you begin to attack the Sheruvian initiate, you feel a strange empathic tug within your mind, and stop short.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Sheruvian initiates occasionally gain a +50 AS bonus to their attack for one swing, which is usually preceded by a random bellowing warcry. An example can be found below:

A Sheruvian initiate bellows, "Bow down before Sheru or lie bleeding at his feet! The choice is yours, infidel!"

A Sheruvian initiate swings a black steel jeddart-axe at you!
  AS: +280 vs DS: +275 with AvD: +24 + d100 roll: +24 = +53
   A clean miss.

When a Sheruvian initiate lands an attack, it has a chance to drain a spirit point. The following shows a successful spirit drain:

A Sheruvian initiate swings a black steel jeddart-axe at you!
  AS: +230 vs DS: +176 with AvD: +24 + d100 roll: +44 = +122
   ... and hits for 7 points of damage!
   Deft slash across chest draws blood!
   You take a deep breath.
As the initiate attacks, a sickening crimson aura lashes out and assaults you, consuming part of your life force!
You feel slightly drained!

If injured, Sheruvian initiates can "pray" to Sheru to heal lost hitpoints from itself or other creatures in the room:

A initiate meditates over a Sheruvian monk for a moment, murmuring a prayer to Sheru.
The monk suddenly looks healthier.
