I think it could be cool if there were more big things in the game. Big as in things that take up two or more tiles. I have a few ideas for big things.

  1. Coglin Tunnel Borer. This would be a four tile “monster” that is a steam engine with a big drill on it. It would move very slowly digging a random tunnel through the floor and leaving behind it a cloud of steam. It would be neutral but do serious damage if you got in the way of the drill. It would be less of something that attacks you and more of something that alters the floor.

  2. Gorged Ogres. Ogres that have eaten too much. A powerfull two tile type of Ogre that moves slowly and can not fit down a one tile passage way. Maybe they throw up a beam of miasma when they get to a one tile opening

  3. Balloonists Bellows. An evocable that inflates your character to four tiles This means that you can not fit in a 3 tile opening. It would give you flight, increased strength, and repulsion but decrease dexterity.

Let me know if you all have any other ideas for BIG things!

NetHack has its long worms; POWDER three 2x2 bosses. What they have in common is they’re a rich vein of bugs to tap into. :-)

The devs said that it would be unlikely to get multitile enemies due to their system for tentacles and the such being very outdated, but in some future update they might put the framework in place.
