Strangled

The strangled are humans infected with the Strangler parasite and are exclusively found in The Stranglewood. They are encountered during the Desert Treasure II - The Fallen Empire quest.

Strangled have an aggression range of two tiles if the player runs in their vicinity. When alerted to the player, the spotting strangled will moan Nngh.... They have a unique aggression mechanic in that if one strangled spots the player and another is within range of the strangled that was alerted, those strangled will instead yell !. If the player steps on a strangler vine, this will alert strangled in a much larger range, even if they cannot see them. Strangled alerted to the player will always run towards them.

If combat is initiated, they will use a typeless melee attack that has a range of two tiles, dealing 1-3 damage regardless of the player's defence bonuses. Until the player drinks the advanced serum, these attacks also have a chance to bind the player in place for a few seconds and contribute to infection. When the advanced serum is made, the attacks no longer bind and infect, but damage will still be incurred.

They also have a very high aggression range, with some of them being able to chase players into the Stranglewood mine. The range at which the strangled will notice the player can be reduced by walking rather than running while in their vicinity. They also have slight freeze resistance.

It is not possible to Monster Examine the strangled.
