A relaxed water cultist with a healthy tan and a soothing voice. He doesn't really care if it is you or he who dies — “both” would probably be the best option. “Death and death alone gives meaning to life and this meaning is entirely negative.” -Georges Poulet

Useful Info

Norris the Philosopher is a unique spellcaster. He arrives with a band of skysharks, confusing melee attacks, and a number of perplexing spells.

In addition to his spells, Norris constantly has an aura of shallow water around him, similar to water nymphs.

Tips & Tricks

• Like tarantellas, his melee confusion can only be resisted by clarity. Mummies in particular should watch out.
• Primal Wave knocks you back, so watch out when using stairs.

History

• In 0.32, Norris will get Draining Gaze instead of Brain Bite.
• In 0.31, Norris was re-introduced.

Prior to this version, Norris was known as Norris the Nihilist, and did not have skysharks or a water aura. His spells were Brain Feed, Smiting, Invisibility, Confuse, and Paralyse.

• In 0.19, Norris bit the dust.
• In ancient versions of Crawl, Norris' tile showed him carrying a surfboard. This is reintroduced as of 0.31.
