Pestilence is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and is found on the Astral Plane, marked as a &. His attack makes you very ill, which can kill you quickly if you do not apply a unicorn horn or quaff something healing. Pestilence always leaves a corpse, and will resurrect after some time, or if you attempt to pick it up. Trying to teleport away Pestilence or its corpse will cause it to resurrect (if dead) and be teleported next to you. You cannot tin Pestilence's corpse.
