The bestiary of Wizardry II


As before, I've split this into multiple tables, with notes duplicated from the Wiz1 bestiary. Please note that Wizardry 2 has changed some things up, so these notes might not be completely accurate!

Picture

These pictures were extracted from the Apple II disk images.

Names

Each monster gets four names. A normal name, a name representing the unidentified monster, and plural variants for both.

Group Size

The number of monsters that may appear in a group. This will never exceed (MazeLevel + 4).

HP / Level

The hit dice which determine the monster’s starting HP, which rolls for each individual monster during an encounter. The dice count also serves as the monster's level. Fuzzballs, for instance, with 100d1 - 99 HP, count as level 100, even though they always only have 1 HP.


A monster's chance to hit you in melee is (Level + YourAC) * 5% per strike.

A monster's chance to resist a successful critical hit is (Level + 10)/35.

Monsters always resist Makanito if their level is greater than 7.

Each monster’s chance to resist Lakanito is Level * 6%.


The morale of a monster group is equal to its level, multiplied by the number of monsters whose status is OK.

When your total party level exceeds the total monster morale of all groups, they will be demoralized, and monsters with the Run ability have a 65% chance to flee.

When monsters are demoralized (even if they cannot run), your chance to succeed when running is 20% higher.


When monsters advance, each monster has a “strength” value determined by this formula:
[Remaining HP] - 3 * (MageLevel + PriestLevel)

The group strength is the sum of all monsters’ strength in the group, only counting monsters with OK status.

After group strength is calculated for all groups, monster group 4 compares its strength to monster group 3, and performs this calculation:
20% * [Group 4 Strength] / [Group 3 Strength] + 31%

This result is the probability that each group moves up a rank.

The process repeats for group 3 and group 2.

Certain items, when equipped, will have a 50% chance of silently nullifying attacks from specific monster classes, should the monster decide to attack the character equipped with such an item. They do not affect spells or breath weapons.

Certain weapons deal double damage against specific monster classes.

Makanito never affects the undead. Zilwan and Dispell only affect the undead.


Attacks

Simple hit dice to determine damage when a monster hits.

Some monsters have multiple attacks, and they don’t always do the same amount of damage. For instance, the greater demon’s attack is:
2d12 1d6 1d4 1d4 1d4

That means it strikes five times, each strike has a separate chance to hit, and each landed hit inflicts the corresponding damage roll.

Special: X Breath

The monster has a breath attack of element type X. Any monster with a breath attack has a 60% chance of using it instead of attacking. Breath attacks hit all players for damage equal to half of the monster’s remaining HP. Characters equipped with an item with that elemental resistance, or who make a saving throw against breath will take half damage. If both conditions are met, they take 25% damage. Element type has no other effect. Stone breath, for instance, does not petrify; it merely indicates that characters equipped with stone elemental protection will take half damage.

Special: Drain X

If you are hit, you will lose X levels, and your maxHP will be reduced to ([newLevel]*[oldMaxHP])/[MaxLev], where MaxLev is the highest level you've reached without getting drained (switching classes resets your level but not your MaxLevel). You’ll be LOST if you drop below level 1!

No-see-um's and Dragon Zombies don't have this ability; they only have a breath attack with the Drain element.

Special: Heal X

The monster heals this many HP per round.

Reward 1 & Reward 2

Index values used to lookup the type of treasure the monster leaves. This is always based on the monster type that was initially selected for the encounter. Monsters types that populated the rear ranks are irrelevant.

“Reward 1” almost always indicates an amount of loose gold, and “Reward 2” almost always indicates a treasure chest which may or may not have items inside. Whether you get reward type 1 or type 2 is not entirely random.

Upon entering a dungeon level, the map will be seeded with nine treasure chests, which will be randomly distributed to designated rooms marked with a flag. Entering a room with a treasure chest guarantees an encounter, and the “Reward 2” column will be selected as the contents of the treasure chest. Treasures from standard encounters are selected from the “Reward 1” column and are usually just loose piles of gold.

If you set off an alarm trap, then you'll still get a "Reward 2" prize after winning the resulting encounter, without having to re-open the treasure chest, but the prize will be determined from the resulting encounter rather than from the initial one.

If you have a random encounter in a flagged room where there isn't any treasure chest, you will receive loose gold from the “Reward 1” column, but the amount will be doubled.

When a monster encounter is selected, it will be in the first monster group. There is a chance that it will come with a “partner,” if it has one, in the second monster group. This is recursive; if the partner type is selected, then that partner also gets a chance of having its partner in the next group slot. There is a limit of 4 groups, or MazeLevel+1, whichever is lower.

For example, Major Daimyo have a partner value of 50% LVL 7 Priest. So if you encounter them, there is a 50% chance that priets will spawn too. If this happens, then since Lvl 7 Priests have a partner value of 40% Champ Samurai there would be a 40% chance of Champ Samurai in the third group slot, and so on.

Mage Level

The highest level of mage spell that the monster may cast.

Monster mage logic:
  • Monsters with any mage spells have a 75% of casting instead of attacking.
  • The monster then selects a random value from the right column of this table, according to the odds in the left column:

    71% 0
    20.59% 1
    5.97% 2
    1.73% 3
    0.5% 4
    0.15% 5
    0.06% 6
  • This number is subtracted from the Mage Level value, but it won’t drop below 1. 
  • Finally, the monster picks one of two spells within that level. There is a 66% chance of picking spell A, and a 34% chance of picking spell B.
  • After casting the spell, there is a 1 / (Monster group size + 2) chance that the group's mage level decreases by one point, affecting all individuals within it.

Monster mage spells (levels do not completely correspond to player spell levels):


 A B
1 Katino Halito
2 Dilto Halito
3 Molito Mahalito
4 Dalto Lahalito
5 Lahalito Madalto
6 Madalto Zilwan
7 Tiltowait Tiltowait

It's curious that Zilwan is one of the spells, as it will never affect anyone in your party!

 

Priest Level

Priest spellcasting logic is a bit different.
  • A priest spellcaster who did not cast a mage spell has a 75% chance of casting a priest spell instead of attacking.
  • When casting a priest spell, monsters always select the highest value allowed.
  • There is still a 66% chance of selecting spell A and a 34% chance of selecting spell B.
  • There is a 1 / (Monster group size + 2) chance that the group's priest level decreases by one point. Same as with mage spells.


A B
1 Badios Badios
2 Montino Montino
3 Badios Badial
4 Badial Badial
5 Badialma Badi
6 Lorto Mabadi
7 Mabadi Mabadi

Spell Resistance

The monster’s percentage chance to resist certain spells. A resisted spell has no effect on the monster.

Spells subject to Spell Resistance are:
Badios, Badial, Badialma, Litokan, Lorto, Malikto, Halito, Mahalito, Molito, Dalto, Lahalito, Madalto, Zilwan, Tiltowait

In addition, Mabadi and Makanito seem to be subject to Spell Resistance, as I've seen them fail against monsters who should otherwise be subject to their effects. Proving this without reverse-engineered source code is difficult, though.

Elemental Resistance 

Spell damage from group targeting-spells is cut in half if the monster resists the corresponding element. Physical resistance does not affect non-spell damage!

Element Spells
Fire Litokan, Mahalito, Lahalito
Physical Lorto, Malikto, Molito, Tiltowait
Cold Dalto, Madalto

Poison, Drain, Stone, and Magic elemental resistances do nothing, because none of the group-targeting spells in Wizardry are aligned to those elements.

Abilities

  • Sleep – The only “bad” ability. Monsters with this ability are affected by Katino. Any others are not.
  • Run – If the monster party is demoralized, then each monster with this ability has a 65% chance to run each turn.
  • Critical – When the monster lands one or more successful hits, it has a [Level * 2%] chance, up to a maximum of 50%, to instantly kill.
  • Poison – Sets poison rate to 1 on a successful hit.
  • Paralyze – Inflicts paralysis on a successful hit.
  • Call – If the monster group has fewer than 5 monsters in it, then each monster has a 75% chance of calling for help instead of attacking. The chance that a call for help will be successful is (MonsterLevel * 5%).
  • Stone – Inflicts stone status on a successful hit.

XP

Just a note here - in Wizardry 1, XP was a calculated aggregate from all other stats. Here, XP is a fixed value. Normally this wouldn't be worth mentioning except for the fact that this is a thing that changed.
