**Description**: The Felonious Conjuror appears as a gaudily dressed humanoid figure with an ever-shifting visage, reflecting a mix of confidence and duplicity. Originating from the realm of twisted magic, this creature thrives on deceit and chaos, using clever illusions to baffle its foes and turn the tide of battle. Tactics often involve manipulating perceptions and summoning minions to create confusion on the battlefield, preferring to outwit opponents rather than engaging them directly. Its demeanor is charismatic yet unsettling, often mocking those it perceives as weak.
