Useful Info

Tentacled monstrosities are enormous, deadly melee monsters which seek out invaders to crush. They have exceptional amounts of HP, resist almost all damage, and can constrict you in combat to deal devastating amounts of damage. Even Armour skill specialists in gold dragon armour will take a beating if they face a tentacled monstrosity in melee for too long. They can be found in the deepest parts of the Dungeon and the Vaults, all throughout Zot, and may sometimes be summoned by Mnoleg in Pandemonium.

Tips & Tricks

  • Remember that constriction partially ignores your AC. If you're playing a fragile character and find one getting too close to you for comfort, do whatever it takes to get away. It doesn't take long to turn a deep elf to paste.
  • Fortunately, tentacled monstrosities qualify as demons, making weapons of holy wrath excellent for cutting them down to size.
  • You can summon your own tentacled monstrosities with the Summon Horrible Things spell (up to 2 at a time at very high spell power).
