 *Dispater, like any demon lord, is someone you want to kill as quickly as possible. The summons can get out of control, though.

-*Dispater, like any demon lord, is someone you want to kill as quickly as possible, but his summoned allies can often deal brutal damage. Powerful area-of-effect abilities that let you attack both Dispater and his allies are helpful, as is [[Aura of Abjuration]]. However, his extremely high AC makes him very resilient.

 ==Trivia==
 Originally a chthonic god of riches, fertile agricultural land and underground mineral wealth, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dis_Pater Dis Pater] was later commonly equated with the Roman deities Pluto and Orcus, becoming an underworld deity. His form in ''Crawl'' was likely inspired by the villainous Dispater found in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispater_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons) Dungeons and Dragons].
