 Thankfully, he still does not teleport to meet the character. Like his sister, then, he is best killed at range.

 Mammon's wrap attack does present a drowning danger if he uses it while over the swamps of Minauros. Furthermore, he possesses a unique breath attack that can turn your inventory golden and petrify you, turning you into a golden statue (this can be cured by the normal means).  His artifact short sword, Avarice, deals 2x damage and steals random items from the target.

-Dispater is a dangerous spellcaster, favoring the curse items and turn to stone monster spells. His fondness for turn to stone means that he should not be confronted without several lizard corpses in open inventory, as once the character begins to stiffen they have only a few turns to eat a lizard corpse before becoming a statue. Free action is another source of protection.

 His artifact weapon, the Rod of Dis, adds 1d8 damage to his attacks and stuns player characters. Characters can use it to tame nearby enemies and to knock enemies back in melee.
