Gremlin

Location Dungeon Levels 7–8
Notes Deals no damage, but steals half your food when it hits
Gremlins deal no damage with their attack, but they are nonetheless quite dangerous and annoying, because they steal half your Food each time they hit. Because this number is rounded up, they can reduce your Food to zero and kill you. If you escape the dungeon alive, remember that you can use Prayer to give yourself some Food until you can reach a town.

Notes Sometimes steals 100 food with an attack
Gremlins are, thankfully, not nearly as annoying as they were in Ultima I. They still steal Food, but only 100 at a time. Sure, that's a lot, but it probably won't result in your death. Just make sure to have plenty of Food saved up before delving deeply into a dungeon or tower.
