A rothe is one of the deadlier early-game monsters. They are very fast hitters and often appear in packs, somewhat similar to soldier ants.

Strategy

  • Fortunately, rothes are larger and move slower than ants, making them far more susceptible to wands.
  • Rothes respect Elbereth.
  • Rothes only provide 100 nutrition, but appear in groups, so they make a good source of food.
  • They also frequently leave corpses, which makes them good sacrifice fodder.

Encyclopedia entry

The rothe (pronounced roth-AY) is a musk ox-like creature with
an aversion to light.  It prefers to live underground near
lichen and moss.
