The '''shambling horror''', {{brightcyan|U}}, is a monster that appears in [[EvilHack]]. Their various characteristics are randomized in every single game, as with [[shambling horror]]s in some other variants, and are only revealed via monster lookup after you successfully kill one for the first time.
 
 
 
==Generation==
 
Shambling horrors will usually begin appearing past the midway point of the main dungeon branch. They are always generated hostile, cannot be selected as a form for [[polymorph]], cannot be targeted for [[genocide]] of any kind, and [[Corpseless|never leave a corpse]] upon death.
 
 
 
The stats for the shambling horror displayed on the right are derived from its entry in [[monst.c]], and act as a placeholder in order to ensure that no serious errors occur should a shambling horror be generated without its traits being remapped properly. The following traits of a shambling horror are randomized at the start of each game:<ref>[https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/blob/0.8.1/src/u_init.c#L1260-L1370 EvilHack 0.8.1 u_init.c, lines 1260-1370]</ref>

==Strategy==
 
Shambling horrors can range from a minor annoyance to a potential game-ending threat, requiring extreme caution on the player's part.
 
 
 
==Encyclopedia entry==
 
{{encyclopedia|
 
Despite its eldritch appearance, the shambling horror is
 
among the most harmless inhabitants of the Dungeons of
 
Doom.  Many adventurers who have returned from the depths
 
can attest to the varied yet innocuous aspects of this
 
creature.  It is speculated by some that the shambling
 
horror may occasionally possess abilities that are quite
 
lethal, but if this is true, no one has yet observed
 
them and survived to document it.
