ScienceBall: Fix Apollyon link/typo. Also, I don't think the revision that removed Lucifer is recent any more, considering e.g. when the Apollyon page was edited.

 Lucifer possesses [[fire resistance]], [[cold resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[shock resistance]], [[poison resistance]], and [[stoning resistance]], and is capable of reviving in a manner similar to the [[Rider]]s: while he lacks a [[corpse]] to revive from and will die for good if he runs out of [[HP]], he will return to full HP if [[disintegrated]] or [[digested]], additionally instantly killing any monster that attempts to digest him. In addition to these, Lucifer also has [[death resistance]] at the time of his last appearance, though he no longer has it due to the changes to monster flags in subsequent versions.
-Lucifer is poisonous to consume, which in theory applies if he is digested by another monster&mdash;this never comes up, due to the aforementioned immunity to digestion.

+Lucifer is always generated hostile. He is not a valid polymorph form or genocide target, and figurines or statues of him cannot be wished for.
 Lucifer is set to generate next to the [[hero]] on the [[Astral Plane]] at level creation if they killed Apollyon earlier in the game.
