-The Tasmanian devil's level and difficulty rating (in SLASH'EM) belies the dangers it poses with its strong attacks, especially since it moves at the same speed as an unhasted and unburdened [[hero]]. Damage reduction from negative [[AC]] is the best defense against them, as their damage output is fairly evenly distributed across their three attacks, and characters with any source of [[speed]] can put distance between them and the devils to retreat and heal as needed.

 The Tasmanian devil's primary weakness is a lack of AC and [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] similar to the other zouthern animals, which should be exploited when possible via ranged attacks and spells to maintain an edge against them. Be ''very'' careful not to use valuable [[wood]]en projectiles against a Tasmanian devil!

		+	The Tasmanian devil is a [[carnivorous]] marsupial of the family Dasyuridae that was formerly present across mainland Australia, but became extinct there around 3,500 years ago; they are still found in all habitats on the island of Tasmania, including the outskirts of urban areas, and are distributed throughout the Tasmanian mainland and on Robbins Island (which is connected to mainland Tasmania at low tide). The Tasmanian is the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world as of the extinction of the thylacine in 1936.
		+
		+	The Tasmanian devil is the size of a small dog, characterised by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odour, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. It hunts prey and scavenges on carrion, and its large head and neck allow it to generate a bite force that is among the strongest of any extant predatory land mammal. Despite its rotund appearance, it is capable of surprising speed and endurance, and can climb trees and swim across rivers. Although usually solitary, devils sometimes eat together in a communal location.
