A shadowy figure clothed in profound darkness.

Gloorx Vloq is a unique Pandemonium lord, a master of Necromancy and guardian of the dark rune of Zot. They are twice as fast as most characters, and often accompanied by executioners and curse skulls.

Gloorx may have less HP than some other Pan lords, but to many characters, is the most dangerous. They are twice as fast as the standard character, hits hard in melee, and and has an extraordinarily nasty spell set. Lichform casters should fight it while alive and undead characters may want to keep an army of summons up due to its Dispel Undead. Haste, poison resistance, and max negative energy resistance are all strongly recommended. Be very careful, and have a means of escape ready.
Gloorx resists electricity, but has no resistance to fire and only partial cold resistance, so most elemental spells work well. Even Air Magic works - Maxwell's Capacitive Coupling ignores resistances and Chain Lightning ignores half resistance.
Stabbers who manage to sneak up can usually kill in a single hit, but if that fails, its EV is low enough that throwing nets work very well.
A potion of lignification can be helpful to those not using Necromutation. Tree Form confers immunity to torment, rPois, some natural AC, and it's unaffected by Dispel Undead. A scroll of fog can be used to create fog, which prevents miasma from being placed on your tile (as clouds cannot replace existing clouds). Then, the only thing you'll have to worry about is the high damage in melee (and the executioners).

In 0.18, Gloorx Vloq had the Black Mark spell.
Prior to 0.18, Gloorx Vloq had Bolt of Draining instead of its unique Summon Executioners spell.
Prior to 0.13, Gloorx Vloq cast Invisibility as an emergency spell.
