Useful Info

An apis is a rare yak-type monster. They are mostly exclusive to holy Pandemonium levels and Ziggurat floors. They behave like all yaks, moving into melee range and hitting surprisingly hard with their holy horns (especially dangerous to undead or demonspawn characters).

Tips & Tricks

  • Think of them as death yaks but stronger, particularly if you're vulnerable to holy damage.

Trivia
