==Useful Info==
'''Clockroaches''' are early [[Dungeon]] pests that first introduce the [[Warding]] mechanic, which prevents them from taking any damage from non-adjacent sources. They also are fast and have a weak Sandblast spell that has its damage heavily reduced by AC.

{{monster spells}}

==Strategy==
*Earlygame mages that otherwise could zap monsters from afar should duck around corners to avoid a Sandblast to the face.
*Species with severe equipment restrictions such as [[Felid]]s and [[Octopode]]s have to care much more about these than other species, due to their low innate [[AC]].

===Tips & Tricks===
*Allies count as their own sources of damage, so [[Summoner]]s, [[Forgewright]]s, and [[Necromancer]]s all won't mind.
*Clouds, such as from [[scroll of poison|scrolls of poison]], count as your damage, and won't

==History==
*Clockroaches were added in [[0.34]], replacing [[giant cockroach]]es.
