They almost always splat the whole village right in the middle of a monster nest or boss room, killing everybody it lands upon. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but there’s a catch. -- Quasar[1]

The Children of Inpewt are powerful revenants created by the spell Zerzura Spell.[2]

Description

Zerzura transfers a full Dungeon settlement, including all of its NPCs and buildings, to a "random" location on a deeper floor. Every creature previously occupying the location is immediately killed and then resurrected as Children of Inpewt. Everyone in the transferred settlement is marked for death by the Children of Inpewt, who will not stop until all their marks are dead.[2]

The Children of Inpewt are fast, strong, and still have any skills or special abilities they had while alive. As a result, they tend to cause chaos for participants in the Ninth Floor Faction Wars.[2]

Trivia

  • Inpewt is one of the names for an Ancient Eqyptian Goddess who is the female counterpart of Anubis.[3]
