-The platypus is a potentially dangerous early monster due to its poisonous kick, which can theoretically cause [[instadeath]] in addition to troublesome strength drain.

+The platypus is a potentially dangerous early monster due to its poisonous kick, which can cause unwanted stat loss and possibly even [[instadeath]]. Thankfully, its slow speed and poor defensive abilities generally make it easy to take out before it can get within melee range or land too many kicks, particularly with [[ranged weapon]]s. The poisonous kick is also affected by [[magic cancellation]] - MC3 will render platypuses nearly harmless.

		+	The platypus, sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic and egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Both the platypus and the four species of echidna make up the monotremes: mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is one of the few species of venomous mammals - the male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers an extremely painful venom.

		+	The unusual appearance of this egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal at first baffled European naturalists, to the point that in 1799, the first scientists to examine a preserved platypus body judged it as a fake made of several animals sewn together.
