Grasping Darkness DO NOT DROP ECTOS. Have done uw 100 times and never had ectos.
 * Note: they also drop keys

Their Speed looks more like 33%, and they attack faster due to constant Flurry ^^ witch allso means they do less damage then they would otherwise, easely killed on a warrior with adrenal skills / stances Biz 01:41, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

They drop black dyes too^^
 * Everything has a chance to drop dye. Pretty sure all creatures have a chance to drop gemstones and keys for their area as well.   GD  15:16, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
 * They also drop Passage Scrolls to the Underworld, not sure if this is already known, but I'm just putting that out there. --63.226.230.34 03:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Interrupts
Is it just me or do these guys not obey the in-game mechanics which govern casting times because they're able to interrupt my 1/4 second cast Vengeful Weapon with their 1/2sec cast Distracting Blow and Skull Crack, how is that possible unless they know that you are just about to press that particular key 1/4sec before you actually do? Araziel
 * AI all over the game is (somehow) capable of doing that. In the past I've had my interrupts (1⁄2 or even 1⁄4 cast time) interrupted by Distracting Blow from those hacking Kurdick warriors in FA --Gimmethegepgun 17:32, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The reason they can interrupt a spell with a 1/4 cast with an attack that takes 1/2 to cast is do to --> * I think &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.64.87.68 (contribs).
 * Still doesn't account for Kurzick Warriors though --Gimmethegepgun 19:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

They are known to all use an interrupt skill at the same moment.so they just use it and if youre spell is interrupted it is a coincidence.81.244.114.69 10:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Skull Crack
Is it just me or does the dazed effect from their skull crack last 15 seconds-ish 99.242.129.186 22:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I completely agree; the daze wore off at the exact same moment that Mystic Vigor recharged... --63.226.230.34 04:14, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * maybe their condtions last 50% longer Lost-Blue 04:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Do they still have Skull Crack?
I'm not sure, but in my past 5-10 runs i haven't even seen them use Skull Crack, let alone interrupt me with it. Maybe I'm just lucky, or I have my timing down, but I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing... --63.231.37.2 22:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Some weird aggro behavior...
Unlike many other creatures, these ones almost immediately break aggro from a tank when targeted by a caster. Maybe it is due to them carrying "Fear me", which is most annoying against casters? GW-Jorx 15:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
