The giant cockroach, a, is a monster that appears in EvilHack. It has a poisonous bite that weakens constitution, similar to a rabid rat, and can hide under objects.
Generation
Giant cockroaches are not randomly generated, and only appear on levels that contain raw sewage - these occur rarely in the Gnomish Mines, and always appear in the Mines' End level where the Rat King can be found. Certain unique demon lairs that contain sewage will contain many giant cockroaches on level creation.
Strategy
Giant cockroaches are small and fast, and can prove an unwelcome surprise for players that have yet to obtain poison resistance.
