Warrior's are the ultimate fighting machine and can easily trade blows vs. Deathmolds with impunity. Go ahead, show that squishy mold who's boss, heh heh ...

Ancalagon breathes poison, and in some variants (ToME being a notable one) he has several other nasty breaths.

You're right though, looking back through my logs it seems most of the stuff he breathes in ToME is unresistable. (Force, disintegration, etc.) And he decided to breath all of it on me.

Anyway, suffice to say that it was a really bright idea to fight him in one of the giant vaults in Erebor, with nowhere to dig a corridor and wide open spaces where he could summon more dragons...

And on a related note, dragons absolutely won't breath on you if you're standing right next to them. I promise.

Or if they're running in fear. You might as well just follow them and melee them for that last blow.

And because they breathe proportional to their HP, you want to reduce their HP as fast as possible, which means melee - especially in variants with cone-shaped breaths.

Hrus too. No stupid old stone giant can stand agains the might of Ringil!

The yellow-colored "P" monsters are yellow because they are cowardly and will not attack you. And that also means they have no friends.

That sleeping hummerhorn can't breed if it doesn't have a mate, so it's safe to ignore it and grab that scroll in the room with it without taking it out first.

If you're in a room full of monsters that could kill you in a single turn, reading a Scroll of *Destruction* will save you. Sure, you'll get blinded, but you will never again have to see the hideous creatures in the room! If you don't happen to have a Scroll of *Destruction*, a Scroll of Darkness is a great substitute with identical effect: You'll go blind, but you'll never again see the deadly monsters in the room!
