A kobold in league with demonic powers, able to call forth beings from the depths of Hell.

“The Parts Septentrionall are with these Sp’ryts Much haunted.. About the places where they dig for Oare. The Greekes and Germans call them Cobali.”
-Thomas Heywood, _The Hierarchy of the Blessed Angels_, Book IX, l. 568. 1635.

Useful Info

Kobold demonologists are kobolds that have learned how to summon lesser and common demons. Fortunately, they aren't much more durable than their non-magical brethren. They are uncommon, most commonly encountered late in the Dungeon.

Tips & Tricks

They are fairly fragile, so it's usually a better idea to kill the summoner rather than the summoned demons. Once the demonologist dies, its summons vanish with it.
Summon Demon can create all kinds of dangerous enemies, such as sixfirhies and neqoxecs, so take them out quickly. Having a piercing, smite-targeted, or AOE attack can be useful to attack through summons and other kobolds.

History

Prior to 0.19, you could meet an apprentice kobold demonologist in the Sewers. This monster was only capable of summoning lesser demons.
Prior to 0.14, kobold demonologists were considerably more fragile.
