The '''Revenant''' is an advanced [[entity]] added by the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Occurrence ==
Revenants may spawn as an Entity event when a colony has at least four [[colonist]]s. Be warned: temporary pawns '''do''' count towards the total. It will not spawn until this threshold is reached, even if all other advanced entities are already discovered and [[Void provocation]] is performed. A known entity will be summoned instead.

Alternatively, one can acquire a [[revenant spine]] from a Mysterious Cargo [[quest]] as a piece of cargo. The revenant will reform after some time, or when placed into [[containment]]. Note that immediately smashing the spine will not unlock the Revenant's codex entry. This quest does not respect the population requirement, but having fewer colonists seems to make it rarer.

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=geneal -invisibility and hearing mechanics not covered. Nominal move speed seems incorrect - hediff when running away?}}
The Revenant is an advanced [[entity]] hunting for colonists to hypnotize. It can also target prisoners, though it in unclear if it only does this when no valid colonist targets remain.{{Check Tag|Detail}}

Pawns that have been caught by a Revenant will be plagued by a condition called [[revenant hypnosis]], which caps [[consciousness]] at 10%, leaving them [[downed]] indefinitely. After successfully hypnotizing a victim, the Revenant will flee and hide to hibernate, just to return eventually to find another victim. The revenant is linked to the colonists it hypnotizes, meaning the hypnotization will end when the Revenant is killed.{{Check Tag|Only?|Wb HMS, unnatural healing etc?}} It is not limited only to the player's pawns, but is also capable of hypnotizing, prisoners, visiting guests and traders.

Can be revealed by:
* Any damage, including by missed shots happening to hit the revenant.
* Fire damage.
* [[EMP]] damage.
* Disruptor flares {{Check Tag|Detail needed}}
* The [[waterskip]] and [[vertigo pulse]] psycasts.{{RoyaltyIcon}}

Upon death, the revenant will dissolve and be replaced with  a [[revenant spine]], which will unlock the [[Revenant invisibility]] dark research project. It will also stain the ground around it with an oily looking black stain [[filth]]. The spine can be hauled like an item, carried to a [[holding platform]] to reform and resurrect the revenant, or can be crushed to kill the revenant permanently, which will yield a [[shard]]. Note that a spine will eventually reform into revenant if not destroyed.

If a revenant is damaged during its attack, it'll drop a [[revenant flesh chunk]]. Only one sample will drop per victim. The chunk can be studied to make it easier to track the revenant. The first chunk studied will provide make the trail of claw marks longer. The second will provide an even longer claw mark trail but also provide a warning letter when a pawn is near the revenant. The third sample provides the longest trail and reveals the revenant if a pawn gets close to it. Each revenant must be studied individually - the study progress and tracking benefits apply only to the revenant they droped from. A revenant that reforms from a spine mutates and is given a new designation and must be researched again.

Revenants have a [[psychic sensitivity]] of 200% and a [[toxic resistance]] of 100%.

They have a stagger duration factor of 0%, making them immune to stagger.

Note that despite nominally having a melee attack, revenants never uses it{{Check Tag|Verify}} and instead it either uses its hypnotise attack or runs away.

=== Yield ===
{{Recode|section=1|reason=}}
* The revenant yields 4 [[bioferrite]] and 200W per day.
* Min contianment strength 80
* Base escape interval: MTB 45 days.
* Studiable 120000
* Advanced 
* 3 knowledge
* requires holding platform
* Requires monolith level 1 for study.

== Analysis ==
These entities are quite fast and turn invisible after getting some distance to the colonists, so catching and killing it poses a challenge for unprepared settlements. Especially spread-out settlements where Revenants can pick victims without anyone around can be crippled badly by it returning over and over again.

Fleeing or rather moving Revenants leave behind black scratches, which gives the player a chance to track their movement and get a sense of its whereabouts.

Additionally, hidden Revenants can be revealed with disruptor flares, explosives, EMP, or firefoam. Sometimes, damaging the specter will make it drop Revenant flesh which can be studied to better understand the creature, making it easier to find and track it down on the next encounter.

A [[Proximity detector]] is capable of detecting a hidden Revenant, but it will not reveal it. Still, it can be used to help narrow its hiding area.

Revenants hypnosis can be cured by the [[Unnatural Healing]] ability.

== Version history == 
* [[Anomaly DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[1.5.4069]] - Revenant flammability reduced, effectively fireproof.
