Malware/Summoner

Malware Summoners are a powerful class variant of Malware. They are robed, upright entities with four hands, three faces (one in the front, two on either sides of their head), and a protrusion on top of their head.

Lore
Typically, Malware Summoners are one of the least common units seen in a Malware army.

Some Malware Summoners have one or more Malware assistants who are exempt from being forced to battle. These assistants are usually standard Malware dressed in cloaks, and sometimes these assistants are shorter than usual. The reason why standard Malware are typically chosen to be Malware Summoners' assistants is because standard units are rounded in skill overall.

Weapons/Abilities
Unit Spawning - Malware Summoners can spawn various units of their respective species (Malware in this case). They can only spawn units up to a certain size and can only spawn them within a certain range, unlike Malware Hosts who lack these spawning limitations. When summoning units, Malware Summoners canonically produce portal-like objects called "Summoner runes" that the spawned units come out of.

Resurrection - Some Malware Summoners have the ability to revive deceased individuals of their species, although there is difficulty with doing this.

Lesser/Greater Subclass Variants
In addition to the regular Malware Summoner, there are other variations of Malware Summoners, such as the lesser and greater subclass variations.

Malware Spawners
Malware Spawners are the "lesser" Malware Summoner variant. According to DuncanDunclub,"Spawners often hang around and take orders from greater summoner classes, sometimes practicing their magic in groups of 2 or 3".

Malware Liches
Malware Liches are the "greater" Malware Summoner variant. According to DuncanDunclub,"Liches [...] are rarely seen with other liches, and prefer secluded environments such as the deepest parts of a corruption stronghold. While liches are very adept in their magical capabilities, they still find enjoyment in flexing their skills on live subjects".

More Malware Summoner Facts

 * Malware Summoners were first shown on January 8, 2019. They initially had no name, and looked somewhat similar to their current design albeit with significant differences (such as different body shape, etc.). On May 9, 2019, they were redesigned and received their "Summoner" name. This redesign was extremely close to the final version seen in-game, but had very slight differences, such as the front part of the robe not coming all the way to the bottom of the body.
