Rust Monster

The Rust Monster is a giant, reddish-yellow insect-like creature with 2 antennae and a long paddle-like tail.

Encounters
The Rust Monster can be found on all levels in the dungeon. If you say the command "Listen" before you enter a room with it, you will hear a "skittering movement and crunching sounds."

Strategy
This monster is a medium-level monster, meaning it is a bit difficult to kill. It can rust weapons and armor, so be sure to equip items that are not very valuable when you encounter it. A rust monster affected by a freeze spell that is hit will not rust armor or weapons.
