A small and shrewd goblin inventor, wearing blue rags coated in soot. She claims dominion over this level of the dungeon; trespassers will find themselves on the business end of a homemade wand.

Useful Info

Ijyb the Inquisitive is a particularly durable goblin who generates somewhat early on. She always spawns with a wand, which makes her substantially more dangerous than regular goblins.

Location

The Dungeon: 3-5

Tips & Tricks

Ijyb is an exception to the rule stating low-level monsters cannot spawn with powerful wands. Expect to see anything from a wand of polymorph to paralysis to even acid.
Just treat her like any other particularly well-armed goblin. Lure her into melee by hiding behind a corner, and fight her alone, so that other enemies can't surround you when you're paralyzed or polymorphed into a bad form by her wand.
She has terrible willpower. Consider hitting her with a hex or your own (wand of paralysis) before going in for the kill.

History

In 0.32, Ijyb was themed as an ex-Coglin. This was reverted in 0.33 with the introduction of the unique Sprozz.
Before 0.20, Ijyb spawned earlier in the dungeon and did not always spawn with a wand.
Ijyb was male before 0.19.
