-*A very dangerous enemy; with a maximum of 120 damage, bunyips can one-shot many characters entering Swamp. Avoiding them is tricky; the watery terrain makes it difficult for any non-[[Merfolk]] to escape. [[Flight]] and a [[potion of haste]] allow you to move at the same speed as a bunyip. [[Passage of Golubria]] (or a [[scroll of blinking]], in an emergency) can give you some space.

 **Think of bunyips as good practice for fighting any [[juggernaut]]s you might see later on -- they share the same speed and attack mechanics, and even the same maximum damage.
-**Due to their exceptionally slow attack speed, bunyips often won't follow or attack you if you take some stairs to a different floor.
+*Due to their exceptionally slow attack speed, bunyips often won't follow or attack you if you take some stairs to a different floor.
 *Bunyips have only moderate [[willpower]] for this stage of the game. [[Hexes]] or hex [[wand]]s can prove useful, and a [[scroll of fear]] is likely to work. Unfortunately, their resistance to [[poison]] makes [[curare]] [[dart]]s ineffective.
 *You can use [[Fulminant Prism]] or [[Summoning]] spells in order to force the bunyip to attack, causing it to waste turns. This can be combined with damage over time effects like [[Freezing Cloud]] or a [[wand of roots]] to kill it from a distance.

-*Avoiding bunyips is often a tricky proposition; the Swamp's watery terrain makes it difficult for any non-[[merfolk]] to escape.
