A rothe:
| |
| Reference | monst.c#line685 |
A rothe is one of the deadlier early-game monsters. They have many attacks and often appear in packs, somewhat similar to soldier ants.
Appearance
They resemble musk oxen or like an imposing woolly ox/bull. They aren't rodents.
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.
