==Useful Info==
'''Entropy weavers''' are potentially devastating humanoid casters, capable of quickly inflicting [[corrosion]], rendering a character extremely weak and vulnerable. They can be found in [[the Spider's Nest]] and rarely in [[the Vaults]], usually accompanied by several [[list of arthropods#Arachnids|spiders]].

==Tips & Tricks==
*The best way to counter Entropic Weave is to fight weavers separately from other monsters. Stairs are your friends here.
**Keep in mind that spells, wands, and Invocations are unaffected by corrosion. If you get corroded, you can switch to attacks that don't involve your weapons.
**If weapons are your only way to fight, and you get severely corroded, be prepared to make a hasty retreat. With four relatively powerful attacks, even a lone entropy weaver can quickly shred you - having other enemies around only makes it worse.
*Wearing a [[ring of resist corrosion]] (or any other form of [[corrosion resistance]]) reduces the amount of corrosion by 50%. Since it doesn't provide immunity, you should still try your best to kill them quickly.
*Entropy weavers can rarely spawn in [[the Lair]] as part of a [[vault]]. It can be wise to skip a floor with an early entropy weaver, and come back later.
*Entropy weaver [[simulacra]] are deadly, due to their 4 cold-boosted attacks - they can deal up to {52 physical + 84 cold} damage per turn. Like all simulacra, they are frail, so if created use any form of ranged means you can.
**Simulacra are often created by [[pharaoh ant]]s. When the ant dies, it casts [[Bind Souls]] - killing the weaver after creates a simulacrum. Killing the weaver before the ant prevents Bind Souls from being cast.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.30]], entropy weavers had 13 [[HD]], but no Fighter flag. This made entropy weaver [[simulacra]] significantly more deadly (156 cold damage ''plus'' the same physical damage).
*Prior to [[0.27]], you could find entropy weavers in ant-themed [[vault]]s. You could find 2 entropy weavers at a time, even in [[the Lair]].
*Prior to [[0.26]], entropy weavers could pick up and use weapons and armour.
*Prior to [[0.18]], entropy weavers used [[Chant Word of Entropy]] instead of [[Entropic Weave]]. Chant Word of Entropy required several turns to take effect, but applied 4 stacks of corrosion.
*Entropy weavers were added in [[0.17]].
