Useful Info
Octopode crushers are deadlier than their common octopode brethren, both physically and magically. Along with their proficiency with Ice Magic, they are capable of throwing anything they are currently constricting to a distant location for 1d45 damage (40% chance of this occurring each turn of constriction), preferably into (i.e. next to) a hard dungeon feature for a 50% damage increase. Octopode crushers can be found in the Depths.

Tips & Tricks
- Getting thrown can change your position dramatically, possibly exposing you to unexplored areas and alerting further monsters. Furthermore, the potential 67 throw damage can leave you in a vulnerable state. You'll always be thrown somewhere that's safe to inhabit and that is currently within your line of sight, so it's a good idea to fall back and melee a crusher from a position where most or all of the locations you can see are free of monsters and not near unexplored areas.
- If your surroundings are very dangerous and you can withstand a crusher's icicles (rC+ helps), try to kill or severely wound them at range. Crushers have only modest durability, and they can only throw you while you're constricted.
