Useful Info
Killer Klowns are powerful humanoid monsters found only in the Realm of Zot. Armed with highly enchanted and branded clubs, they have decent HP, the speed of an adder, the sporadic blinking of a blink frog, and the ability to inflict various status effects by throwing pies:
- Vertigo
- Silence
- Fire vulnerability
- Stat drain
- Inability to drink potions
- Fragile
Spells
| Spell set I | ||
|---|---|---|
| Slot1 | Throw Klown Pie (3d20) | Natural flag |
| Slot2 | Blink | Magical flag |
Tips & Tricks
- Despite them being one of the weaker Zot monsters "on average", do not take Killer Klowns lightly! They are deadly support monsters. Silence and -Potion prevent you from using most of your emergency escape options. If you've taken too much damage, losing access to scrolls of blinking and god abilities is practically a death sentence.
- Repulsion, shields, and/or high EV can help prevent you from getting hit by Throw Klown Pie.
- They have excellent willpower, but lack any elemental resistances, so it's not too hard to pile up damage. Try to blast them at range before they can reach you. They are weak to silver, so silver javelins are very effective.
Trivia
Killer Klowns were originally murderous extraterrestrial pranksters in the 1988 Academy Award® winning comedy horror sci-fi film, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
History
- In 0.32, Throw Klown Pie will be able to blind players.
- Prior to 0.31, Throw Klown Pie could polymorph the player into Bat Form, Pig Form, or Wisp Form, instead of inflicting Fragile. This was notable as a major source of instant death. If you were teleported into Zot:5's lungs, a klown could cause you to turn into a bat before you got a chance to move, losing all your resistances. (You could then be paralysed, mauled by an orb of fire, etc.)
- Killer Klowns gained Throw Klown Pie in 0.23. Prior to that, Killer Klowns were unarmed and used a special Klown attack flavor that could choose randomly between Fire, Cold, Electricity, Strong poison, Drain speed, Pain, or Antimagic. Also, they had fast regeneration.
- Prior to 0.14 Klowns had a different set of damage brands for their melee attack: fire, cold, nasty poison, drain XP, rot, blink, anti-magic.
