List of humans

Version 0.23: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The benchmark species against which others are compared, humans play a major, though somewhat inconspicuous role in the far-flung realms of Dungeon Crawl. Aside from a somewhat increased presence as specialized guardians of the Vaults, humans tend to be scattered widely across the Dungeon and its branches, arriving most often as unique, individually named foes rather than as generic types of monster - they are arguably the one species best represented in this way.

The following is a list of humans appearing as monsters in all their various incarnations across Dungeon Crawl:

Generic humans

p Human - Occasionally found tending sheep, warming by fires, and generally eking out a meager existence in the dungeon.

Generic human variants

- All manner of deformed and sickly humans (and other species) can be found in Cigotuvi's Fleshworks.

- Ghosts of human monks periodically appear within Wucad Mu's Monastery.

Human types

p Slave - Held in Pikel's thrall, these pathetic figures are a threat to low-level characters.

p Wizard - These curious magic-users possess an eclectic spell-set, replete with dangerous conjurations.

p Necromancer - Akin to the wizard, but with a focus on death magic. Generally come with an undead entourage.

p Death knight - Warrior-priests of the dark god Yredelemnul who can invoke necromantic powers.

p Master elementalist - Exceptional mages which possess spells from all four schools of elemental magic.

p Hell knight - Powerful warriors often found together that employ the very forces of hell itself.

Vault guardians

p Vault guard - Plentiful lumbering oafs with heavy weapons and sturdy armour.

p Ironbrand convoker - Recalls and buffs enemy units from elsewhere on the floor.

p Ironheart preserver - Soaks partial damage for other enemies, effectively doubling their HP until the preserver dies.

p Vault sentinel - Wakes up nearby enemies, afflicts you with Sentinel's Mark, often has a crossbow.

p Vault warden - Can open or seal shut doors and stairs around you, forcing you to kill him to escape.

Desolation guardians

a Servant of whispers - Forsaken monks that have learned to still the air and unleash divine thunder.

a Ragged hierophant - Mages that maintain and support the Desolation's construct enforcers.

a Imperial myrmidon - Elite cultists which strip your magic resistance in preparation for their dangerous Hexes.

Para-Humans

p Demigod - As half-mortal, one of a demigod's parents is ostensibly of human ilk.

p Killer Klown - Pie-throwing fools that are nevertheless found among the guardians of the Realm of Zot.
