The Marionettes
Marionette
Puppets created to be a tool of enjoyment, the demons got their hands on them and now they are controlled by the devil king; usually attacking in great numbers, they are a fairly easy foe to oppose. They are equipped with scythes, knives, darts, and some even have shotguns.
Bloody Mari The Bloody Mari is a stronger version of the marionette, being that it is more capable of blocking your attacks effectively. Sometimes it even counter-attacks, making it more of a concern over it's average Marionette counterparts. The name Bloody Mari is a pun on "Bloody Mary".
Background
Marionettes were puppets that are being controlled by its puppeteer using strings. They are used for performance in theaters and it is being enjoyed mostly by kids. It is widely used in Italy during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period. Eventually, they made an Italian comedy called commedia dell'arte and marionettes are mostly used in theaters instead of actors.
Strategy
The marionettes are insultingly easy to destroy. Whenever you hear repeated whirring and "ka-tick" sounds, jump or dodge to evade their incoming attack. If their warcry immobilizes you, wiggle your Left Analog Stick left and right repeatedly to break free or activate devil trigger.
Their knives are thrown in a straight line. The scythes curve all around. The shotguns, however powerful, leaves them wide open for attack after they have fired.
Trivia
Their movement and primitive instinct seems to resemble that of Resident Evil's zombies.
