| Reference | SlashTHEM monst.c, line 4108 |
A grid xorn, X, is a type of monster that appears in SlashTHEM. The grid xorn is a xorn counterpart to the grid bug: it possesses the xorn's thick skin, metallivore diet and ability to walk through walls, as well as the grid bug's restrictions to movement and attacking.
Grid xorns have a single weak bite attack that zaps targets, but will not affect their inventory unless the grid xorn has gained a level, and can hit as +1 weapons. Grid xorns possess shock resistance and poison resistance, also like grid bugs.
Generation
Randomly-generated grid xorns are always hostile, and may be created in small groups.
A grid xorn does not leave a corpse upon death.
Strategy
Despite being much more mobile, grid xorns are as slow as regular xorns and are not much stronger than grid bugs themselves—they can be easily dispatched by all but the most unfortunate starting heroes.
