Slingers are [[Animals]]. | [[Image:Act2-spearcat01.jpg|thumb|left|Slinger (Spear Cat)]] | ||
{{Monster navbox|{{Monstertype}}|{{Animals}}|{{Guest Monsters}}}}Slingers are [[Animals]]. | |||
These spear throwing furries can be dangerous, in part due to a bug in the game that prevents throw javelins from ever striking any sort of player minion or merc (although, this only seems to apply to the Slingers in act 5). Characters accustomed to standing safely behind a wall of minions need to be careful when facing teh javelin kitteh. | |||
These | '''Night Slingers''' are notable for the fact that they hurl poison potions, rather than javelins. These can deal very long-lasting damage on hell difficulty, and the habit of all types of Slingers to run out of melee range makes these cats annoying for most melee characters. | ||
'''Slingers ''' also appear as Guest Monsters. In this case, they appear in three areas and have very different attacks and resistances in each, so are listed separately when necessary. | |||

Javelins will hit characters, but not minions or mercs, so players must be careful not to position themselves directly behind their tanks. | ||
