-'''Natasha, Servant of Life and Death''' is a [[unique]] [[felid (monster)|felid]] wizard. Although not very durable, she is fast and capable of summoning a variety of [[demon#Tier-5 Demons|imps]] to her aid, as well as inflicting irresistible damage at any range and disabling you with [[status effect]]s. On top of all that, she has three lives; when killed, she will respawn elsewhere on the floor twice before finally dying for good.

-*The threat level of her imps is very variable; [[crimson imp]]s are mostly harmless but are very difficult to kill, [[white imp]]s are capable of dealing significant [[cold]] damage, [[shadow imp]]s can hit you with [[negative energy]] damage, and [[iron imp]]s are serious threats in early-game melee. In all cases, however, it is easier to focus down Natasha than to try to kill off her summons, as they will all vanish once she's beaten.

+*Her summons can quickly turn the fight into a disastrous situation. Consider retreating and returning later if she manages to get a sizable imp army up before you can reach her. Remember that summons will vanish as soon as the summoner is defeated (even if she still has extra lives.)
 *Natasha can wield wands and has been known to spawn with a [[wand of polymorph]] in addition to her own Slow spell. Be cautious if you have low [[willpower]].
 *If you are trying to track her down after she's respawned in an otherwise cleared-out level, consider reading any previously discarded [[scroll of noise|scrolls of noise]] or even deliberately setting off an [[alarm trap]] to help draw her out.

-Although never explicitly stated, the [[unrand]] [[dagger]] [[Morg]] once belonged to a "powerful mage called [[Boris]]" who "got lost in the Dungeon while seeking the Orb." Given Natasha's flavour text, this strongly suggests that Natasha was once the unique [[lich]] Boris' familiar, making the pair into one of ''Crawl'''s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocky_and_Bullwinkle_Show sneakier pop culture references.]
