Heretic
Rival cultists and non-believers who oppose the Lamb during crusades.
Heretics are enemies encountered during crusades in Cult of the Lamb. The source describes them as "so-called 'heretics'" that the player fights while venturing into one of the game's four regions. They are rival cultists and non-believers that appear in the randomly generated dungeons, opposing the Lamb's mission to defeat the four bishops and build a loyal cult. Their presence reinforces the conflict between the Lamb's new faith and the Old Faith.

Lore & Background
The source does not provide specific lore about heretics beyond identifying them as enemies encountered during crusades. They are described as "so-called 'heretics'" that the player fights alongside other enemies in the randomly generated world. The game's plot focuses on the Lamb's mission to defeat the Four Bishops—Leshy, Heket, Kallamar, and Shamura—and free The One Who Waits. Heretics serve as generic opposition during these dungeon runs, but no backstory, hierarchy, or unique characteristics are given in the source.
In Their Own Story
The source does not contain a narrative passage about heretics. The only mention is that during crusades, the player can find "enemies in the form of rival cultists and non-believers to fight." No specific encounters, dialogue, or story moments involving heretics are described.
