Throw Ally is a monster-only spell which launches a friendly monster at an opponent. In effect, the cast causes an adjacent monster to blink adjacent to the victim, and deals damage to the target (you) in the process; with Iron giants, that damage can be significant.

Robin can throw goblins and hobgoblins. Polyphemus can throw yaks, death yaks and catoblepi. Iron giants can seemingly throw anything.

The following enemies cast Throw Ally:

• C Iron giant
• C Polyphemus
• g Robin
