Useful Information
Sky beasts are unusual flying creatures that appear in the Dungeon, usually around D:6. They deal additional electric damage in melee, and occasionally turn invisible.
Sky beasts can turn invisible as an innate ability.[1] Every turn, it has a 1/8 chance to switch between being invisible and visible. When doing this, it creates a rain cloud on its position, creating shallow water.
Tips & Tricks
- Try not to fight a sky beast when it is invisible (unless you have see invisible). An enemy you can't see is much harder to hit. If a sky beast turns invisible and isn't adjacent to you, consider retreating - it'll flicker back into view eventually. You do not want to retreat when it is in melee range due to attacks of opportunity.
- It's easy to guess a sky beast's location. As melee enemies, they'll rarely do anything more than move towards you or attack.
