If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Monsters that can slow you

I'm looking for a list of monsters that can slow you, irregardless of how. Torpor snail, of course. Eidolon, too. I have two reasons to ask for this.

One is that I'm working on making new overflow altar vaults and such monsters would be thematic for Chei altars.

Two, I have an idea for a monster that inflicts a physical attack slow on you that is irresistible, but the severity is dependent on your strength: it covers you with thick, hardening gunk. A goo-squirting giant velvet worm (onychophoran) would be pretty cool. A mud elemental might work, too. This design space might be too similar to webs, though.

Re: Monsters that can slow you

The velvet worm's slime seems to function like a single-use throwing net. Rather than just slowing the prey, it completely immobilizes it.

Yes, duh: it's more like throwing nets than webs. Oh well.

Hey, it'd still be a cool monster.

By "cool" I mean "Ah, shit, not a worm with a throwing net! Go away!"

Re: Monsters that can slow you

thick, hardening gunk. A goo-squirting giant


there are a lot of monsters that can slow irrespective of how. Any monster with the spell 'slow', af_cold (vs draconians) or cold-branded weapons, chaos melee or chaos brand on weapons, anything with curare, torpor snail, the first few turns of petrification. I'm sure I'm missing something

Re: Monsters that can slow you

Also a lot of monsters can pick up a slow wand and zap you with it so add them to the list as well.
On IRC my nick is reaverb. I play online under the name reaver, though.
