Gentryii is the common name of the mechanical monster known as harpactognathus gentryii, or "snatching jaws". This is an ancient Empire creation that is again brought to light by an ambitious new leader. Hopefully it's a good idea.

This is essentially a serpent that can move in eight directions. It is invincible and you are not required to destroy it to clear the room. As has been pointed out, the chain this hungry chomper is attached to acts as an obstacle to creatures, like the roaches in this scene. You can pin down the chain by closing doors on it, and you can attack across the chain to smite the roaches with your sword. Your sword can block the gentryii from reaching you, so you can manipulate the gentryii to follow roundabout paths if you're careful.

When Beethro finds out their name in The Oubliette, he considers giving them a different name so that other delvers will understand what he's talking about. He comes up with the names "Horrible Teeth Balls" and "Snapping Chain Monsters", but settles for the nickname "Big Mouth Things", which has a nice ring.

Movement[]

  • Gentryii use Normal beelining movement.
  • Gentryii under the influence of a Brain use pathfinding movement.
  • Gentryii cannot swim, fly, or move into solid objects or other creatures.
  • Gentryii trapped against an alcove or against its own chains without an adjacent empty square will not be able to turn or move.
  • If one square of chain is held by a solid object, Gentryii will have their movement restricted to as much slack as the chain between their head and the object allows. If the solid object can be removed, Gentryii will have more freedom of movement.

Vulnerabilites[]

  • Gentryii can be blocked with the length of the sword when a wall stands between it and the target.
  • Gentryii can be pushed and stunned by a stick, spear, pickaxe or caber.
  • Gentryii are vulnerable to being dropped into pits and water, and their heads being blown up. Gentryii are immune to all other attacks.
