The Tasmanian Devil is a mangy, vicious,
beady-eyed, evil-tempered brute
that will eat anything — especially rabbits.
(It also has a fondness for duck.)
This ferocious creature attacks twice
per round, doing 2-20 points of damage
per attack to anyone it hits. It can regenerate
3-30 hit points in any round in
which it does nothing else (if it is not
dead). It will almost always do this if surprised
or if it takes a large amount of
damage from any non-melee attack.
The Devil also has the ability to go
berserk, turning into a living whirlwind of
teeth and claws. As a whirlwind, it moves
each round in a random direction. In this
form the Tasmanian Devil may bore
through anything (including metal or
stone) in its path except a magical barrier
of some type. A character in the way of
the whirlwind will take 6-60 points of
damage. The Tasmanian Devil may stop
this whirlwind at any time, but may not
attack until a round later, when it regains
its bearings.

The Tasmanian Devil is slow-witted,
and can be tricked by anyone impersonating
a Tasmanian She-Devil. This can
be easily accomplished by anyone able
to shove a bear trap into his or her mouth
and flash a charming smile.
Despite its low intelligence, the Tasmanian
Devil can speak a few simple
sentences in the common tongue, such
as “Why for you do that to me?”
