Monster attack list
Boudewijn Wayers
Lately, there has been demand of a list with all the attacks that are
made by the monsters in Moria. I once compiled such a list from the
Moria monster dictionary (PC-Moria version 4.7** or so). The monsters
have not changed a lot since then, so it should be quite up-to-date.
Following this is another copy of the list, in troff-format (with
possibly some local macro's that your version of troff won't
understand, sorry about that). In this posting, you will find an
ascii-version of the same.
I have devided the information in three sections: (special) attacks,
movement and spells/dragon breath. Within each section, you'll find the
possible attacks (...) listed, followed by the monsters that are
capable of making such an attack. For example:
Lose dexterity:
all L,q;
G: moaning spirit, ghost;
w: yellow worm mass.
This means that all Liches and Quasits can make you lose dexterity, as
well as sone ghosts and one of the worm masses (namely the ones
mentioned).
Happy dungeoneering!
Boudewijn.
