Useful Info

Tormentors are terrible tier-2 demons which inflict torment, tearing up characters without immunity or heavy resistance. They can be found in the Abyss, Pandemonium, the Hells, and some monsters may summon them with Summon Greater Demon.

Tormentors are fast monsters which can halve your HP every turn. Not a big threat by themselves, but when near other monsters, make sure to finish them quickly.
Tormentors can't see invisible. While being invisible won't stop them from ever casting Symbol of Torment, it greatly reduces the frequency.
Tormentors are more hesitant to use Symbol of Torment with torment-vulnerable monsters nearby, especially if that includes their summoner.
They have moderate willpower, so status wands can work well. A scroll of fear can scare them off with some reliability.
As always, life protection (rN+) helps take the sting out of Torment (5% reduction per rank). See the torment page for other means of reducing torment damage.

Prior to 0.9, tormentors were tier-3 demons.
Prior to 0.6, tormentors only possessed Symbol of Torment in their emergency slot, meaning they would virtually never use it, Zin's Sanctuary ability being one of the few ways to make them do so.
