The Terathan Avenger is the terathans' elite warrior: a spellcaster with high melee skills and a Deadly poison bite.

In-game name: a terathan avenger
Corpse: a terathan avenger corpse
Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights like a spellcaster (mage AI), mixing spells with melee.
Enemies: terathans and ophidians are sworn enemies and attack each other on sight.

It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 70.3–100.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 70.3–100.0.

Damage spells: Magic Arrow, Harm, Fireball, Lightning, Mind Blast, Energy Bolt and Explosion. A stronger one (with more Magery) can also cast Flame Strike.
Other spells: about 1 cast in 8 is Poison (only if you aren't poisoned already). It may also Bless itself, curse you (Weaken, Clumsy, Feeblemind or Curse), drain your mana (Mana Drain or Mana Vampire) or Paralyze you.
Healing: it cures itself when poisoned, and sometimes heals itself (Greater Heal when badly hurt), more often the higher its Magery.
Dispel: with 126+ Intelligence it can cast Dispel on your summoned creatures (more reliably the higher its Magery).

Each time its melee attack hits, there's a 50% chance it also poisons the target with Deadly poison.

Deadly poison deals 12.5% of your current hit points (at least 7, at most 26) every 4 seconds, for up to 10 ticks.
Cure it with a cure potion, the Cure or Arch Cure spell, or a healer's bandages and the Healing skill. Higher levels are harder to cure.

Poison immunity: it is immune to poison up to Deadly (Lesser, Regular, Greater, Deadly). Only stronger poison affects it.

Every terathan avenger carries:

It may also carry:

A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 6 chances, from about 20% down to 1% each)
A musical instrument (about 2% or less)
A level 3 treasure map (1% chance)

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

Champion spawn: it is a level 4 creature of the Arachnid champion spawn (champion: Mephitis), so it appears at the fixed Arachnid altar at 5190, 1607, and any of the 11 Lost Lands altars that rolls Arachnid. Each one killed during a spawn gives the killer Valor and champion-title progress.

It combines up to 100 Magery with 90–100 Wrestling and Deadly poison — treat it as one of the most dangerous terathans.
Its loot is two "Rich" packs (about 520–700 gold) and it can drop level 3 treasure maps.
It's a level 4 creature of the Arachnid champion spawn.
