Death drop
Revision as of 15:33, 18 February 2015 by 62.63.75.190 (talk)
When the player kills a monster, sometimes it may leave one random item under its corpse it didn't already have when alive; these items are known as death drops. If a monster is not either a Kop or a type which can't leave corpses, it has a 1/6 chance of leaving a random item on it.[1] The type of item is dependent on what portion of the dungeon you are in.[2] There is also a penalty against small monsters, who can only leave food rations, leashes, figurines, or items that weigh at most three.
