Make Curse Toes fast, give EGolems Shock Serpent discharges
Now that Curse Skulls are fast, there's no reason for Toes to keep their slow-movement gimmick, and a fast enemy that torments and blocks you with mushrooms could be fun in Zot. Making them generate spores for extra confusion may be another bonus, though that might be too severe.
As for Electric Golems, I've found them to be rather non-threatening for anyone with RMsl/DMsl, electricity resistance or enough bulk/evasion, and virtually everyone doing Zot has at least one of these. Their lightning bolts can be dodged and only do half-damage compared to Orbs of Fire, their melee is fairly mild, and you can park them like imps if you really don't like them (but be careful on your way back!). Giving them Shock Serpent-style explosions on hit may make them scary enough for an uncommon Zot monster, and synergizes well with their relatively high HP.
