 '''Crazy Yiuf the Enlightened''' is a deranged [[unique]] [[Gnoll (monster)|gnoll]] who shouts gibberish while murdering trespassers. He always generates wearing a [[cloak]] and wielding a [[chaos]]-[[brand]]ed [[quarterstaff]], which has the potential to be extremely dangerous. He may occasionally generate with a powerful [[wand]] as well.
-His vault is very distinct and recognizable: a stone chamber accessed through a characteristic uneven path, usually through [[tree]]s and occasionally blocked off by [[fungus|fungi]]. His hut is guaranteed to contain at least one [[hammer]], and sometimes several more are strewn about near the entrance.

-*His quarterstaff may heal you, or it may electrocute you for enough damage to one-shot some characters. It always carries the risk of [[banishment]], which is much too dangerous for early characters. Definitely try to soften him up at range with whatever you have available.
+*His chaos quarterstaff can be very dangerous - it may heal you, or it may electrocute you for enough damage to one-shot some characters.
-*Killing him early is usually worthwhile, as he is guaranteed to produce his (occasionally enchanted or branded) cloak, chaos quarterstaff, and at least one better than average [[mace]] in his cottage. If you intend to fight with [[staves]] in the long run, his quarterstaff can be very powerful early on (though it will almost certainly betray you eventually).
+*Other than his quarterstaff, Crazy Yiuf is just a simple, 100% speed, melee monster with no resistances.
