-'''Sky beasts''' are unusual flying creatures that appear in the Dungeon, usually around D:6. They deal additional electric damage in melee, and occasionally turn invisible.
+'''Sky beasts''' are unusual flying creatures that appear in the early Dungeon, usually around D:6. They cause an [[airstrike]] when hitting their target, dealing additional damage with each empty space around them.
 ==Tips & Tricks==
-*Try not to fight a sky beast when it is invisible (unless you have [[see invisible]]). An enemy you can't see is ''much'' harder to hit. If a sky beast turns invisible and isn't adjacent to you, consider retreating - it'll flicker back into view eventually. You do not want to retreat when it is in melee range due to [[attacks of opportunity]], though.
+*Retreat to a nearby hallway or corner if you have to face them in melee. Fighting them in the open makes their damage output considerably higher.
-*[[Poison]] can be an effective option. [[Poisonous Vapours]] never misses, so it's strong regardless of visibility. Just about any character can throw [[poisoned]] [[dart]]s at a visible sky beast, then walk away once it turns invisible.
+*Sky beasts only move at normal speed, so any player (barring [[naga]] or [[barachi]]m) can easily run away from them.
-*It's easy to guess an invisible sky beast's location. As melee enemies, sky beasts will move directly towards you and attack.
+*They completely resist [[electricity]], but any other element (especially [[poison]]) works just fine.

-{{CBA|0.33|sky beasts will get a new attack flavour, '''AF_AIRSTRIKE''', which deals extra damage that scales with the empty tiles around the target. Also, they'll no longer be able to go invisible.}}
+*Prior to [[0.33]], sky beasts' attack was electricity-branded. Also, they would randomly go [[invisible]], creating rain [[cloud]]s.
 *Prior to [[0.21]], sky beasts had mutagenic [[food|meat]].
 *Prior to [[0.12]], sky beasts would [[flee]] once heavily injured. Coupled with their tendency to turn invisible, this made finishing them off very annoying.
