Shadowy Husks, also known as the "The Black Serpents" in the Adventurer Handbook or Black Serpent Knights are an Enemy Group.
Currently they come in four elements: Pyro, Hydro, Cryo and Anemo.
Description
These silent monsters were originally members of Khaenri'ah's Royal Guard under their captain Dainsleif before the nation's fall. Ever since the Cataclysm, they have been suffering from their curse, losing most of their humanity in the process. Depending on how far they've degraded, they're either referred to as Shadowy Husks or Black Serpent Knights.

Strategy
Husks are durable enemies; despite being armored monsters, they have low weight and are easy to stagger. Their attacks have a very slow start-up time, making them very easy to dodge.
When they successfully attack a player who is shielded (including Crystallize), they will apply a buff onto themselves and any other nearby husks if applicable at the cost of losing a percentage of their health. The effect can stack and/or refresh multiple times, although their slow attack speed means that players should not have any difficulty in dodging their attacks and preventing the buffs, even when shielded.
