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

What is the weakest monster that has killed your strongest character? Bonus points if it is in an unusual way.

I lost a rather strong draconian transmuter to a catoblepas because I had macroed 1 to be za. for a caster, and then decided to use the numpad to move diagonally down and to the left. Apparently casting beastly appendage while in calcifying dust is not the best use of a turn.

It isn't quite as much of an unusual story, but the next good DrTm got killed on shoals:5 by a javelin (or two) to the face, which is rather david vs goliath. I failed an 8% failure rate step from time on the last turn :(

This is not a bad topic, but I need to spend some time on reminiscing to remember something. Can't say anything off the bat.

I lost an early ogre when a merfolk (the one in that food vault with the fish) threw a net at me. To clarify, it wasn't being entangled that killed my guy. The net did enough damage to kill me.

Back in 0.10 I lost a maybe something like xl 20 character to poison courtesy of orc knight's poisoneous crossbow. I just watched my hp go down after killing the knight unable to find new potions. I had stashed my curing potions to "some place safe" And safe they where, even from my character's reach. That was pretty stupid.

I lost a GrHE of TSO to a mid-level mummy zig. That's usually not a bad place to die; however, this character had 97 AC (Gr race + maxed crystal plate armor + ring of robustness + auxilary slots and 27 armor skill). Stone skin brought that up to 102 AC. I also had all the skills and spells that I needed to dominate the end-game. Oh, and I breezed through a zig right before that.
Smite and torment spam is pretty bad, but I have no excuses for losing a character that could manage 102 AC.

I got killed by a rat on the orb run once.
