An event that can happen in every Hideout, except in the Dry Meadow (at least I think so, I think that the "Banshee Nest" event is there instead of this). A large number of crows (although this event can happen without the crows flying overhead) will fly over the Hideout, a distant scream-like sound can be heard, and the ambient sound of the forest changes. A hostile Banshee(s) will spawn, recognized by it's loud and heavy footsteps, making them easy to be located by the sound. When looking directly at them, they'll spread their wings and violently scream, causing the player's screen to flash and a visage of their face can be seen.While it has no direct attacks itself, after being stared at or after it received damage from any source, Banshee shrieks, causing the screen to shake momentarily, disable all of the light sources in the Hideout and incinerate Banshee itself. From it's corpse that soonly degraded into black soot, five (5) Banshee Babies will spawn and attack the player. These, for a difference, do attack the player, and while attacking they make a short dash.

Banshees can't break barricades, but they can warp around traps and fire, are immune to skills Chameleon (which when activated makes the player invisible to all enemies for a short while) and Scream (which when activated makes all of the enemies run away in fear), they can "vault" (teleport over) windows and fences, and they know the exact position of where the player/Protagonist is, making it almost impossible to hide from them. Easiest way to avoid them is simply not looking at them, which is admittedly hard to do unless if you're not running in and around the Hideout, hunting every enemy that you come across and being on the move, otherwise there really aren't that many choices for an average player do to but to kill them when they come across one, which will trigger the Babies to spawn. Best/most efficient ways to kill it (or the Babies I should say) is either by throwing a Molotov or by throwing a Gas Bottle. Molotov impact does high damage, and when a direct hit is scored on a Banshee it will immediately die and it's Babies will die to fire damage. Gas Bottles' gas does (admittedly very low) damage even when a match hasn't been thrown into it, making it perfect for killing these things. A nice bonus is the fact that the gas can "go through walls" making it easy to cover multiple rooms when the Bottle is thrown.

Acid Blood skill (which is passive and makes you drop a somewhat mediocre-sized pool of dark green blood which'll damage enemies when stepped on) can also be very efficient against the Babies, although the player'll lose a large amount of HP in the process. I advise using this only is you use a Bandage on yourself before you do it so that you get healed right back.

Banshees and Banshee babies never drop anything when killed.

It's advised to drop a Flare if you think that a Banshee if near, since it's shriek will disable every light in the Hideout.

quite random but i think they're like the coolest enemy ever in any given game
