Stalker

The Stalker is a nocturnal hostile mob that spawns in the overworld in dark areas. It is a member of the Lurker family, sharing its high running speed and ability to blind and poison the target, but lacks the Lurker’s signature aggressive leaping attacks. It is weaker than its cave dwelling counterpart, but considerably more common.

Strategies
Stalkers are a fair bit stronger than the typical zombies & spiders, but are still considered easy hostile mobs. Their speed is probably their biggest asset, allowing them to close the distance quickly, while their blinding attacks can be very dangerous if the player is pre-occupied by other mobs. Killing Stalkers should be a priority, especially if there are other mobs attacking you. Stalkers have fairly low health, although their leather armour does offer protect Tien, meaning that they die quickly when focused, especially by ranged weapons that prevent them from closing in.
