The nabassu is a monster added in SLASH'EM. It is a major demon that can cast monster spells and drain life through its melee attacks.

Strategy

While their somewhat low base level generally prevents them from using summon nasties, nabassus will frequently cast curse items against you. Combined with their relatively fast speed and tendency to haste themselves, this makes them a high-priority target. If engaging them in melee, one should be sure to have drain resistance or good magic cancellation to protect against their life-draining attack. Be aware that unlike many other spellcasters, their melee attacks will still do a respectable amount of damage, although it is by no means insurmountable.
