This article is about the monster in SlashTHEM. For the monster in other variants, see chillbug.

A chillbug, x, is a type of monster that appears in UnNetHack. The chillbug is an oviparous fantastic insect that is capable of flying, and can be seen via infravision.

A chillbug has a strong bite attack that deals cold damage and has a chance of freezing and shattering potions in the target's inventory. Chillbugs possess poison resistance, cold resistance and acid resistance.

Chillbugs are poisonous to consume.

Generation

Randomly-generated chillbugs are created as hostile, and are normally only generated in Gehennom, where they can appear uncommonly in large groups.

Strategy

Chillbugs can hit moderately hard, but by the time you reach Gehennom they should be manageable. Just try not to get surrounded by the groups that they generate in.

History

The chillbug first appears in UnNetHack, where it is added in version 5.1.0—SlashTHEM does not retain the "blinker" behavior that they are given in UnNetHack.
