    Should that say "not hurt by"? Or "is not vulnerable to".

    Light attacks hurt unless thing resists light, not bright light.

    "bright light" I think refers to light beams from spell/wand/rod/staff and Phial activation -like effects.

      Maybe it could breathe white noise and lull you to sleep before clawing you in half?

        Or maybe it breathes sound at @'s resonant frequency

          You're thinking of the Ancient Brown Dragon.

              I like cacophony. I do think changing the name makes sense... I have to remind myself that Thunder != Storm even though I totally understand the distinction.

                Especially when there are Thunder Giants and Storm Giants, and the both use electricity.

                  I don't remember any Thunder Giants. Storm and Cloud, yes, but not Thunder.

                            Hey now!

                            More like "Something mumbles. You are surrounded by scantily clad women, preposterous vehicles, and a green haze. You are confused"

                            Actually, the more I think about this, a hip-hop roguelike could be pretty amazing. Like a roguelike GTA.
