*There is a peculiarity pertaining to the Emperor Bulblaxes on sublevel four of the Cavern of Chaos. After waking one up, lure it to the smaller island and stand on top of it whilst the Emperor Bulblax approaches. It will repeatedly attempt to lick its target but fail each time. If the leader then walks away from the beast, it will freeze in place.
