Useful Info

Necrophages are grotesque undead. Their melee attacks have a chance of rotting your max HP with every hit.

Tips & Tricks

  • They're fragile enough that almost anyone can defeat them from a distance with ranged attacks.
  • Followers of Fedhas Madash can simply pray to instantly destroy them. Be aware that doing this gives no XP, though it does grant you piety.

History

  • Prior to 0.16, necrophages could eat corpses to heal.
  • Prior to 0.15, necrophages could equip weapons and armor.
