A '''test spawner''' is a monster created by [[Devteam|dolorous]] for use in stress-testing the game's AI. With one million [[HP]], maxed out [[AC]] and [[EV]], the ability to [[regenerate]] even though it looks like a [[statue]], and resistances and immunities across the board, it is virtually indestructible. Test spawners only exist when manually generated in [[Wizard mode]] or the [[Arena]].

The developer sorear once killed one in the Arena with 99 Daevas. Being completely surrounded by a horde of creatures prevented the test spawner from summoning, at which point the Daeva army just gradually wore it down with irresistible smiting attacks.
