Abilities
Poison immunity
It is immune to poison up to Greater (Lesser, Regular, Greater). Only stronger poison affects it.
Loot
Every swamp tentacle carries:
- Gold: about 60–150 in total (from its "Average" loot)
- 3 reagents (random)
It may also carry:
- A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 3 chances, from about 5% down to 0.5% each)
- A musical instrument (about 0.4% or less)
Carving
There's nothing to carve from its corpse.
Location
- The Deceit brazier (a scripted item named for the dungeon Deceit): 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
- A straightforward melee fight; it hits for 6–12.
- It's immune to Greater poison and weaker.
