| A mass of stellar detritus that glows with the sickly putrescence of a dying star, forever shrieking soundlessly in a voice beyond mortal grasp. Its form quivers and undulates constantly, dividing spontaneously and then withdrawing when threatened. While the voice of even a single one is unsettling, in chorus, their screams can overwhelm the minds of even the bravest warriors, leaving them stunned and helpless.

Useful Info
Starcursed masses are the Lovecraftian equivalents of slime creatures, with two unique mechanics. They can be found in the Abyss.
Starcursed masses can combine and divide randomly. A combined starcursed mass has more HP, but otherwise share the same stats. It displays no sign that it is combined (unless the XP boost happens to increase its threat level). On their own, these monsters tend to divide, but if struck they will regroup.
In addition, starcursed masses have a shriek ability. If have line of sight to one, you can be hit for 2 + 1d5 + 1d(1.5 * #_masses) AC-ignoring damage.[1] If there are 5 or more masses in sight, you have a 33% chance to be paralysed for 1 turn. If there are 7 or more masses in sight, you have a 50% chance to be paralysed for 2 turns. Combined masses are treated as one monster for the purposes of shrieking.
Tips & Tricks
- Using area-of-effect attacks, like Fireball, will force starcursed masses to regroup. AOEs also deal high damage, since you get to hit multiple targets at a time.
History
- Prior to 0.17, starcursed masses' shrieking did not affect monsters with mindless or insect intelligence.
- Starcursed masses were added in 0.12
