Rothe

A rothe, q, is one of the deadlier early-game monsters. They are very fast hitters and often appear in packs, somewhat similar to soldier ants.

Strategy

• Fortunately, rothes are larger and move slower than ants, making them far more susceptible to wands.
• Rothes respect Elbereth
• Rothes only provide 100 nutrition, but appear in groups, so they make a good source of food.
