The pyrolisk, c, from the word πυρ, is a monster that has a lot to do with fire. It has a gaze attack that may burn up your potions, scrolls, and spellbooks. Armor is not affected.
Its attack is useless if either one of you is blind, so the easiest solution is to wear a blindfold, then treat it like any other monster.
Encyclopaedia entry
At first glance around the corner, I thought it was another cockatrice. I had encountered the wretched creatures two or three times since leaving the open area. I quickly ducked my head back and considered what to do next. My heart had begun to thump audibly as I patted my pack to make sure I still had the dead lizards at close reach. A check of my attire showed no obvious holes or damage. I had to keep moving. One deep breath, and a count of three, two, one, and around the corner I bolted. But it was no cockatrice! I felt a sudden intense searing of the skin around my face, and flames began to leap from my pack. I tossed it to the ground, and quickly retreated back, around that corner, desperately striving to get out of its sight.
