A demonic skull rolling along the ground.

“Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!”

Useful Info

Murray the Demonic Talking Skull is an unique curse skull, capable of both movement and physical attacks and requiring significantly more damage than normal to destroy. He can only be found in the Vestibule of Hell (25% chance per game), and is placed using the vault syntax for that map rather than using the unique placement system.

Murray is also found in Dungeon Sprint: The Violet Keep of Menkaure. He appears immediately before the player grabs the Orb of Zot, blocking the player's path out as unfriendly demons spawn nearby.

Location

The Vestibule of Hell

Spells

Name	Damage	Range	Flags
Summon Undead	—	—	Magical flag, Noisy flag
Sign of Ruin	—	—	Magical flag, Noisy flag
Symbol of Torment	—	—	Magical flag, Noisy flag

Tips & Tricks

He's much tougher than a regular curse skull, but Dispel Undead and Lee's Rapid Deconstruction are still very effective. His movement and melee attacks may work to your advantage. In melee, he may bite you instead of summoning or tormenting; regular curse skulls never have that option. Still, be sure to have an escape plan, as he is about as difficult to kill as a royal mummy but cannot be silenced, and you'll be dealing with the other threats of the Vestibule at the same time.

Trivia

Murray is a reference to a talking skull of the same name from the Monkey Island game series.
