Commoner is an enemy in Elden Ring.
Lower-class citizens of Lands Between, commoners can be found in most major settlements. They no longer have their wits about them[1], and are typically hostile towards the Tarnished. They are most often seen wearing boards around their neck depicting a sprawling tree, with holes formed by its roots. This is a self-imposed shackle representing a voluntary display of allegiance to the Erdtree.[2]
Commoners dressed in plain garb, bearing evidence of their devotion to the Erdtree on the boards hung around their necks. They fight using weathered straight swords, and will sometimes through Fire Pots and Ruin Fragments.

Maddened commoners found in places touched by the frenzied flame, which can be seen burning in their eyes. They are found in the Ailing Village, Frenzied Flame Village, and Yelough Anix Ruins. They fight using swords and spears, and can harness the power of the frenzied flame to unleash Madness-inflicting attacks.

White-haired necromancers found only in the Black Knife Catacombs. They dress in similar garb to commoners, but with black tunics, and they carry torchpoles blazing with a pale flame. They have the ability to continuously resurrect nearby Skeletons by preventing them from being permanently killed unless anti-Those Who Live in Death equipment is used. If the necromancer is killed, all of the skeletons connected to them will also die.

Commoners dressed similarly to necromancers, but with the addition of a veil. They are only found at the Minor Erdtree (Capital Outskirts), surrounding an Omen which, like the commoners themselves, can cast Fia's Mist.
