Useful Info

Plague shamblers are putrid undead humanoids which seek only to spread the horrific rot that fills their flesh. Their powerful melee attacks inflict both sickness and retching in their victims, and upon death, their body spills out a rapidly expanding cloud of miasma. They can be found in the Crypt.

Tips & Tricks

  • Particularly slow characters (nagas in particular) may wish to blink away as soon as they defeat a plague shambler, or better yet, kill them at range. The miasma will spread faster than you can walk or slither away, and no one wants to rot any more than they absolutely have to.

History

Plague shamblers were added in 0.13, replacing rotting hulks, and removed in 0.15.
