“ This is some form of eldritch monstrosity; an uncouth black being with smooth, oily skin and unpleasant horns that curve inward toward each other. Tall and thin, the shadows cling unnaturally to its vaguely defined humanoid form as it shuffles along, its hands twitching and spasming so rapidly as to appear a little more than a black blur of claws. While it doesn't seem aggressive, gazing upon its disturbing form fills you with an unspeakable terror regardless. ”

This creature is a human sized nether inhabitant. It's a very competent fighter with very high hit points. It's faster than you, agile, has no armor against bashing weapons and no armor against cutting ones (that includes bullets).

It has extremely high morale and it's not particularly aggressive. Being a nether inhabitant, it's afraid of being hurt, and can be angered by nothing in particular.

It is able to smell characters, can hear noises, is warm blooded (it appears in infrared), doesn't breathe (it's not affected by smoke, toxic gases, drowning, etc), can grab you, can produce bones and sinews when butchered, walks around most dangerous terrain and traps, smartly selects targets to attack, and nothing else.

Being made of flesh, it's vulnerable to nothing in particular.

When it dies, nothing unusual happens.

(View - Edit Notes )Notes

• We don't know how it looks either. Or at least until more recent versions changed it, at least clarifying it to be humanoid. Most of the official tilesets follow this interpretation as well.
• Despite it being a strong fighter, it is not aggressive and will always ignore the player as long as they leave it alone, therefore, attacking it is a waste of time and not needed, since Grackens are found near corpses, one can get a lot of good loot when they find them, so encountering a Gracken can be a good thing most of the time.
