Notes
- There exists a familiar version of this enemy.
- The orcish meat locker, rusty metal ring, and rusty metal shaft are conditional drops that will not drop if you already have one of them in your inventory. For example, if you have just a rusty metal shaft in your inventory, then the locker and ring may still drop, but the shaft cannot.
References
- The name of this monster is a reference to the Dungeons & Dragons monster of the same name. Just as in Dungeons & Dragons, the monster is described as being ten feet by ten feet.
- The miss message about a "rube-ish cube" is a reference to the Rubik's Cube.
- The introductory haiku refers to the skateboarding movie "Gleaming the Cube."
