| Throws a nearby ally at the monster's foe, doing minimal damage and landing the thrown monster nearby. |
Throw Ally is a monster-only spell which launches a friendly monster at an opponent. In effect, the cast causes an adjacent monster to blink adjacent to the victim, and deals unavoidable damage to the target (you) in the process. The projectile ally is not reflectable, deflectable, or blockable by the target.
The following enemies cast Throw Ally:
- C
Iron giant - C
Polyphemus - g
Robin
Iron giants can throw any adjacent, allied monster of any size1, and, yes, that means: dragons, Hell sentinels, juggernauts, and even other fellow iron giants. Polyphemus can only throw yaks, death yaks, and catoblepi. Robin can only throw goblins and hobgoblins.
The maximum damage incurred is 2*HD of the thrower; thus, possible damage is 1d2, 1d32, 1d44, respectively, less the player's AC bonus.

Footnotes
1The ally to be thrown must not be being constricted. Otherwise, the only things Iron giants can not throw are avatars (which are linked to a conjurer) and projectiles: that is, Battlespheres, Spectral weapons, Orbs of destruction, Ball lightning, Spatial vortices. (A dancing weapon is not a Spectral weapon and is throwable.)
