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 Felucca 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.
Champion spawns only exist if the staff have generated them (with the staff command [GenChamps); the code doesn't say whether that's been done on New Bradford.
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.
