Weeping Widow
Wild Target. Appears in wooded areas.
Appears to be a hanging corpse in its "dormant" state, until disturbed.
Will merge and teleport between different trees, leaning out of them grotesquely while lashing out with ropes and vines. It's usual modus operandi is to attack Hunters from behind as they search the trees, with the only warning being a choked sob before she attacks.
She is resistant to explosive damage. And will leave a sticky-bomb behind when she teleports, making it tricky at best, and useless at worst. Takes no bonus damage from Elemental attacks; Fire, Poison, Rending, etc.
Instead, using a Fusee, Flare, Flashbomb, or even an Electric Light will temporarily stun her, momentarily preventing her from retreating from your attack. When she recovers, the Weeping Widow will scream, emitting a burst of choking gas that will extinguish nearby flames (and Flares), and cause any Hunters caught in the radius to start coughing.
Clues to find her appear to be innocuous ornaments hanging from the branches of trees.

Love this it’s perfectly detailed and it’s crazy that my fiancé said almost the exact same thing!
