List of humans

Version 0.16: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The benchmark species, against which others are compared, humans play a major, though somewhat inconspicuous role in the far-flung realms of Dungeon Crawl. Aside from a somewhat increased presence as specialized guardians of the Vaults, humans tend to be scattered widely across dungeon and its branches, arriving most often as unique, individually named monsters, rather than as generic types - they are arguably the one species best represented in this way.

The following is a list of humans appearing as monsters in all their various incarnations across Dungeon Crawl:

Generic humans

p Human (monster) - Occasionally found tending sheep, warming by fires, and generally eking out a meager existence in the dungeon.

Generic human variants

- All manner of deformed and sickly humans (and other species) can be found in Cigotuvi's Fleshworks.

- Ghostly human monks which spawn within Wucad Mu's Monastery.

Human types

p Wizard (monster) - These curious magic-users possess an eclectic spell-set, replete with dangerous conjurations.

p Necromancer (monster) - Akin to the wizard, but with a focus on death magic.

p Death knight (monster) - Warrior-priests of the dark god Yredelemnul.

p Master elementalist - Exceptional mages which possess spells from all four elements.

p Hell knight - Powerful warriors, often found together, employing the very forces of hell itself.

p Slave - Held in Pikel's thrall, these pathetic figures remain a threat to low-level characters.

Vault guardians

p Vault guard- Plentiful lumbering oafs with heavy weapons and sturdy armour.

p Ironbrand convoker- Recalls and buffs enemy units from elsewhere on the floor.

p Ironheart preserver- Soaks partial damage for other enemies, effectively doubling their HP until the preserver dies.

p Vault sentinel- Wakes up nearby enemies, afflicts you with Sentinel's Mark, often has a crossbow.

p Vault warden- Can open or seal shut doors and stairs around you, forcing you to kill him to escape.
