The Ettin is a two-headed giant. It's slow and not very bright, but with 80–100 hit points and a 7–17 punch it's a solid step up from orcs for newer fighters.
Overview
- In-game name: an ettin
- Corpse: an ettins corpse
- Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
- Movement: it is one of the slower creatures in the game (slow speed), so you can outrun it.
- Rummages corpses: from time to time it takes a random item from a corpse within 2 tiles (*rummages through a corpse and takes an item*). Loot your kills quickly near one.

Loot
Every ettin carries:
- Gold: about 90–225 in total (from its "Meager" and "Average" loot)
- 1 random potion: Agility, Strength, Refresh, Lesser Cure, Lesser Heal or Lesser Poison
It may also carry:
- A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 5 chances, from about 5% down to 0.2% each)
- A musical instrument (about 0.5% or less)
- A level 1 treasure map (1% chance)
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 4 raw ribs
Location
- The Deceit brazier: double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.
Tips
- It's slow, so you can walk away from it if a fight goes badly.
- It rummages through corpses, so loot your kills before it reaches them.
- Its loot includes Meager and Average gold plus a random potion.
- Carve it for 4 raw ribs.
