Version 0.32: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
One of the floor stones doesn't seem that sturdy, and you notice that it is a trigger of some sort, though you can't tell what kind of trap it is attached to.

A pressure plate is a trap which causes some pre-scripted, generally bad event to happen. They are destroyed upon being stepped on.

Possible Results

  • Drop Trap[1]: Spawns several monsters right next to the player. This is by far the most common variation of pressure plate the player will encounter.
    • Spiders: You are immediately surrounded by eight redbacks.
A basket of spiders falls from above!
A basket of snakes falls from above!
With a honk a tiny klown kar falls from above, and Killer Klowns tumble out!

History

  • Previously, there were harmful cloud traps, and traps that revealed various cells with harmful monsters in them.
  • Snake and Klown Kar drop trap variations were added in 0.23.
  • Prior to 0.16, you could levitate/fly over them if you managed to find one before stepping on it.
