Useful Info
Giant cockroaches are common pests found all throughout the early Dungeon. They are faster than the average character, but only pose a threat to low level characters on the brink of death.
Tips & Tricks
- Although you're unlikely to notice it, they can cling to walls. Bear this in mind if, for some strange reason, you need to hide from one behind impassable terrain.
- Their AC can pose a problem for characters with weak starting attacks, particularly those with low-power L1 spells (Sandblast is particularly bad, since it is triply affected by AC). Don't be afraid to beat them with an unskilled melee weapon if your spells are repeatedly doing no damage.
History
Prior to 0.15, chunks of giant cockroach meat were contaminated.
