A dretch, i, is a monster that appears in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. It is a minor demon that is almost identical to an imp, including the tendency to taunt you with demonic maledictions. The only differences are its base level, which is one lower than the imp, and the chance of treachery - it is likely the first monster you will encounter than can potentially turn hostile even while tame, unless you have more HP.

Strategy

Dretches are somewhat tricky to hit for early characters, but do not pose any more significant threat than their imp brethren.
