Abilities

Magic

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).

Poison attack

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.

Loot

Every terathan avenger carries:

• Gold: about 520–700 in total (from its "Rich" ×2 loot)

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)

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

• 2 raw ribs

Location

• 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.

Tips

• 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.
