I think if you're playing the game through for the first time they come in very handy if you haven't worked out good strategies for defeating really powerful monsters. Before I joined the forums here I had no idea about strategies and game mechanics so I always used death scorpions, but now I don't have to use them as much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

As phantoms we have fled the basalisk of day, to rise as pheonix taloned, nightly taking prey.We rule like the red and risen moon upon the sea, The stars of judgement silent, for we share joyous, Eternity.
