Abilities

Poison immunity

It is immune to Lesser poison only.

Loot

Every corpser carries:

• Gold: about 30–75 in total (from its "Meager" loot)
• 10 logs (or, 25% of the time, 10 boards instead)
• 3 mandrake root

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 can't move: archers and mages can kill it with no risk at all.
• Its 10–23 damage hurts new characters; don't wander next to one.
