Useful Info

Bunyips are fast-moving, slow-attacking monsters found in the Swamp. While they can do gruesome damage in melee, they must rest for around 2 turns after each set of attacks.

Tips & Tricks

Avoiding bunyips is often a tricky proposition; the Swamp's watery terrain makes it difficult for any non-merfolk to escape. Combining a potion of flight (or natural flight) and a potion of haste will give you enough space to escape, or you can open a gap with a scroll of blinking or Passage of Golubria.
Due to their exceptionally slow attack speed, bunyips often won't follow or attack you if you take some stairs to a different floor.
Bunyips have only moderate willpower for this stage of the game; Hexes or disabling wands can prove useful. Unfortunately, their resistance to poison makes curare darts ineffective.
Think of bunyips as good practice for fighting any juggernauts you might see later on -- they share the same speed and attack mechanics, and even the same maximum damage.

Trivia

Bunyips are creatures from Australian Aboriginal mythology.
