Useful Info
Hell beasts are bestial tier-2 demons with randomized attributes. While their attacks are always fairly powerful and can trample you back a square, their HP and speed vary greatly. Fortunately their AC and EV are always pretty terrible, their HD are low, and they have few resistances. As demons, they can be encountered in the Abyss, Pandemonium, or the Hells, and other monsters may summon them against you (most notably Geryon).
Tips & Tricks
- Using the horn of Geryon will summon a hell beast at no cost. Unfortunately, it will always be hostile.
- Unlike most demons, they lack poison resistance. Mephitic Cloud affects them very well.
- Be very aware of their trampling ability if you expect to stair dance away. They may push you off the stairs and leave you extremely vulnerable, a common way to die in the Vestibule of Hell.
History
Prior to 0.8, they could not trample.
Prior to 0.9, they were simply called "beasts."
