	A ~~Revenant~~ spawns in with 75 essence, which when taken as HP is 25 less than it takes to reach critical condition for living players. However, on the flip side, they can only be harmed while visible, which is only for a limited duration when, and after, using a power or attempting to harness essence.

	Keep in mind however that the ~~Revenant~~'s visibility is a ~~commulative~~ debuff called "corporeal".

			A small note, which may sometimes be useful to those going against revenants, is that the air around them is colder, directly equivalent to the amount of essence the revenant has.<ref>https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/commit/fadacc6c348a89d530b7366bd2d1d23683e3d276</ref> This can be useful in pinpointing if a revenant has finally given up terrorizing a room or is just waiting around for the perfect moment to strike again.

			Unlike most other antagonist roles, there is few direct methods of seeking out and killing a revenant. If a revenant knows you are trying to kill them, they will simply move away from your part of the station, faster than you can possibly keep up, all while being fully invisible and intangible. What you can do is inform medical, or potentially even security. The main place where revenants excel are hectic brawls and medical arenas with not enough doctors, as they can easily fly under the radar and steal away souls without anyone even noticing.
