Flags
A hideous, miserable creature covered in oozing sores, afflicted by some horrible disease. Bits and pieces fall from its body as it shambles toward its next victim.


It stinks.


“The slow adagio begins;
The winding-sheets are ravelled out
That swathe the minds of men, the sins
That wrap their rotting souls about.“
-John Davidson, ”A Ballad of Heaven". Late 19th cent


Useful Info

Rotting devils are tier-4 demons that can rot you with their melee attacks and leave trails of miasma clouds behind them as they move. Fortunately, they are not very durable. They can be found in the Abyss, Pandemonium, and the Hells (primarily Tartarus).

Interestingly, other than their MR and holiness, they are identical to necrophages.

Tips & Tricks

  • Remember that they are NOT, in fact, undead. Dispel Undead and Control Undead have no effect on them.
  • Avoid their rotting potential by killing them at range with spells.

History

Rotting devils will be removed in 0.14.
