A relaxed water cultist with a healthy tan and a soothing voice. He doesn't really care if it is you or he who dies — “both” would probably be the best option.

““Death and death alone gives meaning to life and this meaning is entirely negative.”

-Georges Poulet.

  • Primal Wave knocks you back, so watch out when using stairs.

History

  • In 0.31, Norris will be re-introduced.
Prior to this version, Norris was known as Norris the Nihilist, and did not have skysharks or a water aura. His spells were Brain Feed, Smiting, Invisibility, Confuse, and Paralyse.
  • In 0.19, Norris bit the dust.
  • In ancient versions of Crawl, Norris' tile showed him carrying a surfboard. This is reintroduced as of 0.31.
