Prisoner Hordes are enemies in Demon's Souls.
They attack at medium to long range by firing a Soul Ray, and at close range with a flurry of slashes which deal substantial physical damage and rapidly deplete stamina when blocking. It is not recommended to engage them at close range without an extremely strong attack prepared, as Prisoner Hordes do not stagger. They appear only twice in the game, once in the basement of the Prison of Hope, and once in the swamps far below the suspended streets of Latria, making them one of the rarest non-boss enemies in the game.
