Interactions

A Cursed Kuo-Toa Chief^[1] leads an Ambush of Cursed Kuo-Toa along the northern coastline of Reithwin Town. It is continuously affected by Shadow-Cursed Undead, reducing it to a shadow of its former glory, and Drenched, rendering its opponents soaking wet with each attack.

Upon death, the creature's type and race revert to Humanoid Kuo-toa as the shadow curse leaves the body.

Notable loot

Lightning Jabber

↑ Under some unclear circumstances independent of difficulty, two Kuo-Toa Chiefs will be encountered instead of one, with one chief being uncloaked. This is potentially a glitch.
