I always assumed these bros were Pthumerians like the wiki always says, but then I noticed how weird it was that they're the only ones that spawn outside of a Chalice Dungeon AND a Nightmare (I'm counting the Unseen Village during the Paleblood Moon a "Nightmare" on account of the otherworldly enemies). If you die in a dungeon by way of a Snatcher after the Blood-Starved Beast has been slain, you will still be brought to Hypogean Gaol.After killing Rom, the corpses of the Snatchers formerly inhabiting Yahar'gul can be seen slumped against walls around the village.They can also appear in Pthumeru Chalice, but with half of their regular amount of health, while they have standard health in Central Pthumeru Chalice and doubled health in Lower Pthumeru Chalice.The one behind the Oedon Chapel can become a devastating helper for killing the Suspicious Beggar. Shaman Bone Blade can be used on them so that they fend off other enemies.The Snatchers which appear after Blood-starved Beast is killed can be found behind the Oedon Chapel in Cathedral Ward near the tomb entrance to Old Yharnam below the plaza to the right of the Grand Cathedral in the streets below the Healing Church Workshop and near the dog cages in the Forbidden Woods.the attack is extremely slow therefore it is very easy to dodge, just keep your distance if they keep their right hand unmoved for a long period. the snatcher's have a highly telegraphed grab attack that they rarely use.One would stagger the player with their singularity pull move while the other can quickly kill them.

Do not engage more than 1 Snatcher at the same time.Do not under any circumstances trade hits with them. A Snatcher will kill any hunter in 2 or 3 hits.When it raises up its right arm to land a punch, it can be staggered with guns and subsequently land a visceral attack.They can also be knocked down with Burial Blade and Hunter Axe's two handed charged strong attacks, providing you enough time to reach their back and prepare your backstab-visceral attack combo.However, the first backstab can be difficult to pull off, in which case lowering its health enough for it to start its channeling animation, and then performing a backstab-visceral then is enough to deal a formidable amount of damage. It immediately channels its frenzy animation after getting up, with their back facing the player, leaving it open to another backstab-visceral. One of the easiest ways to kill a Snatcher is to get a backstab-viseceral attack combo before it goes into its frenzy mode.They must however channel for a while to do so, which gives the player a wide enough window to reposition behind them and charge up a R2 attack for a viseceral attack.
