Useful Info

Demonic crawlers are grotesque demonic pests that can swiftly outrun most characters and which deal moderate damage in melee. They are occasionally encountered in the Abyss and Pandemonium, but pose little threat there. They can also generate in early Makhleb altar vaults or in the Spider's Nest, however, at which point they can be an actual menace.

Tips & Tricks

They partially resist most elemental damage, but not so much that decent casters can't power through it. That being said, physical, non-elemental, or especially holy damage works better.
