The Unholy bishop is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Unholy bishops are the premier sorcerers of the monster world, completely forsaking physical attacks for magic. They have bizarre grey-green skin and pointed ears. The bishops are garbed in flowing purple robes worn underneath red and green vestments with a long yellow cape and cover their faces with an unusual red and white mask. They have a chance to drop their garments after being defeated in battle. They have powerful healing, instant death, and debilitating spells in their repertoire of magic. However, they are also held back by their small pool of magic power.
