The trapper t and the lurker above t are the only members of the t trapper or lurker above monster class. They hide and wait for unsuspecting victims before swallowing them whole and digesting them alive.

Trappers and lurkers above are almost identical. The only differences are that trappers have a higher base level and a slightly more damaging attack, but cannot fly.

Both monsters are easy to detect via telepathy or warning, and they are also very slow, making them less fearsome than their attack would suspect. However, they can digest any pet in one turn just like a purple worm can, so be careful not to lose a good pet to them.
