  • He has high HP, but little staying power. While you can protect against some of his spells with see invisible, clarity, stasis, or high magic resistance, hitting him with a fast overwhelming offense gives him little time for trickery. Just be aware that he hits hard in melee; flimsy characters in particular may find it worth enduring some smites and intelligence damage to keep him at range.
  • Norris also appears in Dungeon Sprint: Red Sonja.

History

  • In 0.19, Norris himself finally bit the dust.
  • In ancient versions of Crawl, Norris' tile showed him carrying a surfboard.
