Baptists are humanoid (but not human, it seems) enemies that come in two varieties - red and blue. Both are relatively high-level (around 15 to 16) encounters, and both can prove to be deadly if encountered in a dungeon.
Types of Baptist
Red Baptist
Red Baptists rely on fire bolts and teleportation. Their bolts travel in a straight line and can hit multiple targets. The fire bolts will destroy scrolls, potions, and non-metal gear at random (relatively rare items like Vindale Cloaks or Seven League Boots are not excluded.) They will teleport at random to avoid being hit. It is virtually impossible to engage a Red Baptist at melee range, so some sort of ranged skill or magic is a virtual requirement to kill them. You can prevent their fire from destroying your items by having a Fireproof Blanket in your inventory and by dipping your equipment in fireproof liquid.
Blue Baptist
Blue Baptists are exactly like Red Baptists, but shoot ice instead.
Believer of Fire
Believers of Fire are higher-level versions of Red Baptists. They have the same fire bolt attack, and can still teleport, but can also heal themselves. However, they have low armor and HP and are encountered at levels high enough that you should have a high enough Eye of Mind skill to crit and kill them in one turn. Some of these have a spell that summons fire based creatures like drakes, fire crabs, and even more Believers of Fire. Though they will not summon till you hit them.
