Okay, so it's basically a suped-up Sky Beast that doesn't turn invis. Regular Sky Beasts don't shoot lightning and only make clouds on their own tile, rather than all over the screen.

Rainbow Mamba. A black mamba with a chaos branded attack, mesmerise and maybe some of the spells that chaos champions have. Actually, a unique based on the Rainbow Serpent creation myth could be interesting. Something like a giant flying snake with lightning attacks that summons rainclouds, creatin...

If they were to get a new name, it could be one that plays up the parasite/symbiote aspect. Something along the lines of vampire vines, leech vines, possibly involving a pun on the word 'sap.' Though personally I think Vine Stalkers works well enough as is.

Or if you're farther into the dungeon, an ogre mage hasting one maybe. :p Though I don't know if haste is in their repertoire.

I know at least one of their spellsets has Haste.

Well I've currently just hit level 27 with DSBe. Between 2 rings of slaying and a few artefacts, he's got about +18 in slaying bonuses. I think I'll be sticking with my Demon Whips

D:1 jackals are only a major problem when they spawn next to the starting vault where you're in a transparent box with only one door.

I'm assuming you want Stealth for bootstabbing. That seems like a pretty unnecessary sideline to me --- UC kills things just fine already and you're not going to do a ton of stabbing on modest investment in Stealth alone --- but again, a few points isn't a big deal. I've found that a few points in ...

What version are you playing? Gargoyles lost their bite/talons in trunk, along with slow metabolism.

You want to be at least "Extraordinarily Resistant" to reliably resist enchantments from endgame enemies.

I'm currently trying to complete my first 15-rune run. Right now I've got a DsFi of Mahkleb, and since I found a whip of Electrocution really early I've been training M&F and Shields, planning to upgrade to a Demon Whip once I find one. Is it viable to keep using a Demon whip in the extended end...

Trog's gifting works like a modified Scroll of Acquirement. You're more likely to get a good weapon for skills you've trained, and there's a much, much higher chance of getting the Anti-Magic brand. You can (and will) still get weapons that you have no training with. For Ogres trained only in M&...

The fire damage is also reduced by AC. The only elemental damage that bypasses AC are weapon brands/attack flavors and certain spells/abilities that are specifically coded to ignore it, like Freeze. Bolt of Magma is not one of them.

Code:: Z - the +9,+8 falchion of Purpose (weapon) {slice, +Blink, rElec rF+} (You found it on level 8 of Dungeon)

Not bad for being less then halfway through the dungeon.

If you enjoy getting random mutations, you can always try playing a Demonspawn. That way you're at least guaranteed not to get anything that's strictly bad.

Just because Orb Spiders have been doing negligible damage for the first 4 floors of Nest doesn't mean that one can't hit you for 54 damage when you're low on health.

Also, sometimes you just need to suck it up, unwield a vampiric weapon and eat a bread ration later.

Today I learned two important things: 1. When encountering Mara as a Gargoyle, you should forget LRD immediately. I think reading ?teleportation (or doing a dozen other things) rather than reading ?amnesia is a better idea if you run into Mara and don't think you can take him out safely—which is mo...

1. When encountering Mara as a Gargoyle, you should forget LRD immediately.
2. The minimap icon for up staircases looks very similar to the icon for plants.
