The Caaws ('E')/('E'):  [r,q,t,p,o,+,-,<dir>]                                                     
No battles to the death are recalled.                                                             
A thing like a massive, jet black oyster with four groping tendrils.  Born of nether, it need not 
chase its prey, content to seeth in the darkness until some unfortunate creature wanders too      
close.                                                                                            
It moves quickly, but does not deign to chase intruders.  It is surrounded by ice.  It is magical,
casting spells which heal-self, make invulnerable or dispel-magic; 1 time in 5.  It can destroy   
weaker monsters.  It is cold blooded.  It is not detected by telepathy.  It regenerates quickly.  
It resists acid, lightning, fire, cold, poison, light, dark, nether, water, plasma, shards, sound,
chaos, nexus, disenchantment, force, inertia, time, gravity and teleportation.  it won't evolve.  
It cannot be stunned, frightened, confused or slept.  It is ever vigilant for intruders, which it 
may notice from 1000 feet.  It can touch to drain charges with damage 13d13, touch to disenchant  
with damage 13d13, touch to reduce all stats with damage 13d13, and touch to drain mana force with
damage 100d100.

Ouch!
100d100 on the damage for a Caaws?? Is that for real? Wouldn't that simply kill most characters? Yikes!

I guess death molds are an insuffiecient lesson for some people. 5000 dmg shoudl be enough though, I'm guessing to kill Hengband characters.

Or perhaps it drains 100d100 mana from it's target.

Surely it's got to be the latter. Why don't you poke it with your lance and find out? lol.

Well since it's immobile, just don't step near it. I managed to kill 3 of them with my characters but it's a lot of work using distance attacks only, especially with its invulnerability and fast regeneration. XP-wise it's almost comparable to the Serpent of Chaos :).
