Ironically, the corpse it may or may not leave behind is extremely useful- mainly since it allows you to fight floating eyes and not be affected! When a floating eye is blocking your passage ahead, it can be immensely frustrating trying to kill it if you don't have enough spells or ranged weapons yet. While most of the Goddamned Bats in NetHack are actually Demonic Spiders, the floating eye is harmless in and of itself - but if you bump into (attack) one, you're likely to get paralysed long enough to be killed by some ignominiously weak enemy such as a newt.A single adder has a good chance of killing a level 1 or 2 character by itself if you're not prepared. Found as early as the very first floor, it moves faster than you, has high evasion and most importantly poisons you, possibly several times, before you are likely to have identified curing potions. New players quickly learn to fear the common dungeon Adder.Slime creatures are especially bad about that- oftentimes an injured slime creature will run out of your field of vision and reappear just seconds later, nearly fully healed. While both are fairly weak, they both have a tendency to swarm in numbers- and an even more annoying tendency to run away once they start taking damage. Their erratic movement pattern means that you can't just find it and blast it to death, unless you are standing in a corridor. They have pretty strong attack (easily stopped by good armor, but deadly against mages, stalkers and giants), speed of a bat and on top of that they flee when heavily hurt. They do not fly, but are (as name suggests) invisible. unless you're unfortunate enough to let them find a weapon on the ground, or worse yet a ranged weapon on the ground. And they have the fast regeneration trait. Imps, which will barely give you a chance to swing at them before they teleport somewhere outside your range of vision, forcing you to wait while they navigate back to you and do the same thing again.The actual vault name is the source code is "goddamned_bats". There is also a randomly appearing vault full of different flavors of bats.In the popular - well, as popular as they get - roguelike Dungeon Crawl, Giant Bats have a penchant for not doing any significant damage, but running away just barely faster than you can chase them in most cases, and moving erratically when you try to attack.Diablo III shows every sign of continuing the trend, with enemies that swell up and explode when killed, spewing out other, smaller enemies like some kind of clown car of the damned.Oh, and all those monsters that can be resurrected? You don't get more experience for killing them again. There are also mummies spawned by sarcophogi, greater mummies that can resurrect almost any type of undead, and Putrid Defilers, which enchant other monsters to spawn Pain Worms upon death. Blood Hawks are literal Goddamned Bats spawned by nests.Leapers move very fast and jump all the time which makes them difficult to kill due more to being hard to click on than having lots of armor or HP. Sand Maggots and Flesh Beasts spawn Maggot Young and Flesh Spawn, respectively. Flayers, Fallen, and Carvers all tend to swarm and can be resurrected by their respective Shamans (except for the undead Bone Flayers, which explode for a nasty chunk of damage when they die). Diablo II adds Flayers, Maggot Young, Flesh Beasts, Leapers and Imps. This means that your best shot at good, durable armor is enchanted leather armor. And it is also extremely common far more so than the ring that protects your armor, or scrolls of enchant armor. The aquator rusts any metal armor, reducing its armor class repeatedly until it becomes worthless.This means that it's very hard to reach the higher levels without ending up enormously understrength. And they are extremely commonfar more so than the ring of retain strength or potions of strength or regain strength. The rattlesnake reduces your strength, which makes you cause less damage.
