The Bogle is a ghoul-like spellcaster with the same stats as a shade (55–70 Magery, 46–60 hit points), but slow-moving. It carries a weapon and a bone.

Overview

• In-game name: a bogle
• Corpse: a ghostly corpse
• Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights like a spellcaster (mage AI), mixing spells with melee.
• Movement: it is one of the slower creatures in the game (slow speed), so you can outrun it.
• Enemies: fey creatures (wisps, pixies, centaurs, ethereal warriors and the like) and the undead are enemies and attack each other on sight.
• Bleed immune: bleed attacks (a weapon special New Bradford enables) don't affect it.

Abilities

Magic

It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 55.1–70.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 55.1–70.0.

• Damage spells: Magic Arrow, Harm, Fireball, Lightning and Mind Blast. A stronger one (with more Magery) can also cast Energy Bolt and Explosion.
• 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 Paralyze you.
• Healing: it cures itself when poisoned, and sometimes heals itself (Greater Heal when badly hurt), more often the higher its Magery.

Poison immunity

It is immune to all poison, so poisoned weapons, the Poison spell and poison potions do nothing to it.

Loot

Every bogle carries:

• Gold: about 30–75 in total (from its "Meager" loot)
• a random weapon
• a bone

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 2 chances, from about 1% down to 0.2% each)
• A musical instrument (about 0.1% or less)

Carving

There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

Tips

• It's immune to all poison.
• It's slow, so you can walk away from it.
