Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.
- This page is a stub. You could probably expand this page should you wish to do so.
The Armataurs are a large, scaled mammalian species, walking on four feet and swinging a powerful tail behind them. Their elephant-back armies terrorize the lands outside the Dungeon.
Armataurs instinctively roll when moving toward foes, getting a free move. Their long, nimble tongues drink every last drop from potions, doubling their effects, but the strange syllables of magical scrolls slow them down. They have great aptitudes with armour and shields, though their body shape reduces the protection offered by body armour early on. |
