Flee

Attempts to escape combat when weakened.

Flee is the act of retreating to preserve life. Enemies with this ability will attempt to escape only when their health drops dangerously low, breaking away from combat in search of safety. Once out of reach, they may slip into the shadows or retreat to distant corners of the dungeon, leaving adventurers with a choice to pursue or ignore them.

While fleeing, these enemies gain temporary regeneration, steadily restoring their health as long as they avoid further damage. If left unchecked, they can return to the fight at partial strength, undoing hard-won progress. Chasing them down and striking quickly interrupts the recovery process, forcing them back into battle before they regain the advantage.
