Useful Info
Ugly things are fast, strangely-shaped, nauseating monsters that usually appear in groups. They are found mid-game in the Dungeon and in some branches, particularly the Vaults. They come in a rainbow of colours, each of which has its own elemental attributes. Their attack types also vary: some ugly things bite, some headbutt, and others still will slap you with tentacles.
Ugly Thing Varieties
- Template:Red File:Ugly thing.png Red: Fire attack, rF+
- Template:White File:Ugly thing5.png White: Cold attack, rC+
- Template:Cyan File:Ugly thing3.png Cyan: Electricity attack, rElec+
- Template:Brown File:Ugly thing1.png Brown: Acid attack, rAcid+
- Template:Green File:Ugly thing2.png Green: Poison attack, rPois+
- Template:Magenta File:Ugly thing4.png Purple: Extra damage
Ugly things may change colour each turn they spend adjacent to other ugly things or a character with magic contamination. Using Irradiate or a wand of polymorph (which will always succeed) will also cause a colour change.
Tips & Tricks
- Packs of ugly things will spontaneously change their damage and resistance types mid-fight. If you rely on elemental damage, keep track of what you're up against before attacking.
- Poisoned ugly things that switch to green will still be poisoned. They will also still be confused if they ran into a mephitic cloud.
- They move faster than a normal speed character. If they are at the edge of your sight and you can see stairs in the opposite direction, you'll probably be able to escape, but prolonged kiting is not possible.
- Despite their animal-level intelligence, they are capable of opening doors.
