Version 0.11: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Although spiders are generally considered the most dangerous of Crawl's invertebrates, there are a number of deadly insects found in the Dungeon as well. Their abilities vary greatly by order, but the majority of them share a weakness to poison. They can be found everywhere except the extended end-game.
All insects leave zombifiable corpses, but none leave skeletons, meaning that players with a cursed/distortion/vampiric blunt weapon using Animate Skeleton for food cannot conveniently eat them.
Ants
- a
Worker ant - Poisonous critters that seek out puny adventurers to feast upon. - a
Soldier ant - The sort of giant ant that can chomp through armour and shake off stab wounds. Extra poisonous! - a
Queen ant - Although a heavy hitter in melee, her slow speed makes her much less intimidating than her minions. - a
Ant larva - About as threatening as a goblin with three limbs missing.
Bees & Wasps
- k
Killer bee - Painful alone and deadly in swarms, these pack hunters are a menace to the unprepared. - k
Bumblebee - A bigger bee with a much less terrifying history of player deaths. - k
Queen bee - Although extremely venomous, their lack of maneuverability makes them easy to deal with. - y
Yellow wasp - Although slower than killer bees, their stings slow and paralyse their victims. - y
Red wasp - An oversized yellow wasp dyed red in the blood of its victims.
Beetles
- s
Giant cockroach - Common pests of the upper floors of the Dungeon, they're mostly harmless. - B
Goliath beetle - Slow enough for even nagas to kite, but durable enough to make you wonder if it's worth the effort. - B
Boring beetle - Beefy, but easily avoided. They tend to turn any floor with rock walls to swiss cheese if left around long enough. - B
Boulder beetle - These tanks normally lumber along slowly, but they can suddenly start rolling at break-neck speed.
Flying Insects
- b
Butterfly - Harmless and pretty and occasionally in the way. - y
Vampire mosquito - Pesky undead insects that suck the unwary dry. - y
Moth of wrath - These fluttering nuisances are capable of mystically enraging anything they come across. - y
Ghost moth - Invisible psychic predators with debilitating poisons.
History
0.12 will introduce moths of suppression and remove bumblebees.
