 ==Generation==
-Kroo is always generated on the [[Special level (SLASH'EM)|special]] [[kobold level]], with two random [[weapon]]s, two random pieces of [[armor]], two random [[potion]]s, and a random [[wand]] on his square. Like other kobolds, Kroo is also [[monster starting inventory|generated with]] two sets of weapons: an [[orcish short sword]] ({{frac|4}} chance) or an [[orcish dagger]] ({{frac|3|4}} chance), and a stack of [[orcish spear]]s ({{frac|4}} chance) or a stack of [[dart]]s ({{frac|3|4}} chance).{{refsrc|makemon.c|851|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}},
+===SLASH'EM, SlashTHEM and Hack'EM===
 ==Strategy==
 Kroo has a higher base level than any other kobold, but he is otherwise fairly unremarkable: his weapon attack does less damage than that of a [[kobold warrior]], and he has the same low speed of 9 and pitiful 10 [[AC]] as most other kobolds. However, the items placed on his square can lead to some nasty surprises, and he has enough HP that he may get a few wand shots off before you can kill him.
-Kroo is usually surrounded by a very large number of kobolds, warranting the use of anti-horde tactics such as fighting them one-by-one in a corridor; while this leaves you vulnerable to his wand(s), it also ensures that you can reliably zap him and his kobolds with your own wands.

	Kroo's guaranteed wand can lead to some nasty surprises, and he has enough HP that he will be able to fire it a few times if it is an attack wand, so players will want to be cautious around him, but overall he is not terribly dangerous. He does spawn alongside a very large number of kobolds, though: while not individually dangerous, they can "nibble down" an unprepared player faster than one might expect. Be sure to fight him and his friends in a corridor.
