=== Monsters ===

Monsters are basically 'the enemy'.  There are lots in the
dungeon.

--- Monster attacks ---

Monsters can attack in melee, with magic and with breath 
attacks.

You can only be hit by melee attacks when you are immediately 
adjacent to them.  There are also 'branded' melee attacks, 
you can have items burn, lose experience or other unfavourable
effects.

With magic there are 'bolt' and 'ball' attacks.  These also 
can have various (e.g. elemental) types.  Breath attacks cover 
a wide area and and, as well as having many types, also do 
quite heavy damage.  However breath attacks depend on the 
monster's HP so if they are weakened their attacks will also 
be feeble.

--- Monster defences ---

Monsters have AC and resistances.

With high AC it becomes difficult to hit them in melee.
If you attack with an element they resist the damage will be
considerably lightened.
