Useful Info
Radroaches are dangerous denizens of the Spider's Nest. Their Irradiate spell, similar to the player, will inflict heavy magical contamination and very high damage to foes that get within melee range.

Tips & Tricks
- While fairly bulky, softening a radroach up with any sort of ranged attack is always preferable. They are weak to silver and vulnerable to curare.
- A radroach won't cast Irradiate if there are other hostile monsters next to it (that are reasonably strong).
- A potion of cancellation will remove contamination.
