-*Shrikes are justification for carrying a form of [[ring of resist corrosion|resist corrosion]] around while exploring the mid-game. They can prove devastating if you allow several of them to attack you at once; use narrow hallways (of your [[wand of digging|own making]] if need be) to prevent this, especially if you lack acid resistance.

 *Shrikes aren't resistant to [[corrosion]] or even [[poison]]. A [[scroll of poison]] can deal significant amounts of damage. A [[wand of acid]] can lower their defense, assuming you can hit them in the first place.
 *Caustic shrikes have decent [[willpower]], but Evocations or Hexes experts can affect them fairly reliably. You can also use a [[scroll of vulnerability]] to improve the chance of [[hexes|hexing]] them. [[wand of charming|Charmed]] shrikes make good allies.

 *For those who worship [[Okawaru]], kills of caustic shrikes tend to award maximum piety per kill even well after you've achieved a fairly routine ability to dispatch them. Keep that in mind if you need a boost to take out one or more - if you invoke ''heroism'' and/or ''finesse'', odds are you'll recover much of the piety you spent upon your victory.

 *Prior to [[0.28]], caustic shrikes could [[see invisible]].
 *Caustic shrikes were introduced in [[0.16]].
