'''Bog bodies''' are amphibious [[undead]] found in [[the Swamp]] with a cold touch-based attack that deals an additional 6-17 cold damage, as well as a few spells. They can swim, but slowly. Unlike other ghoul-type monsters, bog bodies don't have rot-inducing melee attacks, but killing them will produce a [[cloud]] of [[miasma]].

Tips & Tricks

  • If you don't have great cold resistance, try not to stay in/above water near a bog body. Bolt of Cold will create freezing vapours when passing over water, increasing the damage you'll take.
  • The extra cold damage in melee is very likely to trigger unless you have a lot of AC, given the attack's base damage of 20.
  • If you have low willpower, swapping to a ring of willpower is recommended, especially if other enemies are nearby. If they manage to slow you, you'll likely remain slow for the duration of whatever fight you're in.

History

  • In 0.26, their touch attack was merged with the main attack, which increased the chance to deal additional cold damage. Also, their HD was increased from 6 to 10, making their spells more powerful.
  • Prior to 0.24, followers of Fedhas Madash could instantly destroy them with the Fungal Bloom ability.
  • Prior to 0.19, you could meet several decayed bog bodies in the Ossuary. They were less durable and had Throw Frost instead of Bolt of Cold. Decayed bog bodies were replaced with less dangerous bog mummies.
  • Prior to 0.15, bog bodies would randomly start rotting.
  • Bog bodies were added in 0.11, replacing bog mummies.
