==Useful Info==
'''Rotting hulks''' are slow, heavy-hitting brutes that inflict [[sick]]ness with their melee attacks. Although they leave [[corpse]]s, these are already so rotten that [[god]]s will not accept them as blood sacrifices and only [[saprovore]]s can eat them. They are encountered in the [[Dungeon]] on graveyard-themed floors, often in the company of [[skeletal warrior]]s, as well as in [[the Crypt]].

==Tips & Tricks==
Take advantage of their slow speed to avoid having to face them with company. The normal-speed skeletal warriors they appear with are by far the bigger threat, but getting sickened is never a good prospect. Kite them if you have access to decently powerful ranged attacks.

==History==
Rotting hulks will be replaced with [[plague shambler]]s in [[0.13]].
