 Summon Small Mammals was historically called "spammals"; Summoners should live that name out to the fullest. While recent versions of Crawl have strict summon limits, all that means is that you should use a wide repertoire of Summonings spells. Call Imp gives you a spear-wielding imp that can poke enemies from behind your spammals or a canine familiar. There's almost no downside to having all your conventional summons out at the same time. You can have up to two Small Mammals, and one of any other starting spell.
-Blazeheart Golems and Lightning Spires should be handled with greater care. The former is prone to [[Inner Flame|exploding]], but the explosions are great at taking out strong early game enemies. Note: in order for a golem to do anything before turning into a [[blazeheart core]], you must stay adjacent to it. Lightning Spires are placed randomly in [[line of sight]], and stationary. But in exchange, it deals great damage; it can even [[doublezap]] in the right conditions. For example, when the spire, monster, and wall are all in a straight line (and you adjacent to said line).
+Eringya's Surprising Crocodile is one of the best movement spells in the game, and will allow you to displace yourself up to 2 tiles while placing a strong summon (for the early game) in between you and the target enemy. You will generally want to save this as a defensive move rather than an offensive one.
