Tentacled Monstrosity on Swamp 2

I haven't played crawl in about a year, but finally drifted back to it. First game's going fine, a DsWz of Ru that's doing a nice hybrid between a hand axe of elec and throw icicle.

But in Swamp 2 I spotted a tentacled monstrosity. Last time I played, these were a constrict-tank that was mostly only in Zot. Are these weaker now? Or just randomly interspersed in Swamp to make it more difficult?

At the moment I'm just staying the fuck away from it, but I'm curious how justified that is.

Tentacled monstrosities have been present in (some) Swamp endings for a while now. I don't recall seeing them in Swamp:2, however. You might just have been unlucky.

AFAIK, their stats haven't changed from before.

They've been in the swamp spawn list for quite a while but are incredibly rare and get slightly more common (but still incredibly rare) as you go deeper. They are technically in depth on any floor of swamp though.

Good to know. I must have just dodged them outside of swamp endings till now.
