Version 0.17: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Blue devil

Useful Info

Blue devils are weak flying tier-4 demons that resist cold and poison, but which are vulnerable to fire. They don't hit particularly hard, but they have a swooping attack with range 4, allowing them to move past intervening creatures and the target itself, land on the opposite side, and immediately perform a melee attack. They can often be found in Cocytus or the Ice Cave.

Tips & Tricks

None needed, though when found in the Ice Cave, be on the lookout for powerful ice devils and ice fiends.

History

Prior to 0.13, blue devils were simple melee attackers.
