Probably the most popular line in Zork. This is one possible appearance for the creature, as expressed in a certain movie... You can be killed by a Grue in any darkness, regardless of location, if you don't have any light. Just keeping you warned of that.
Now uhhh...I'm fairly-proficient in troll-killing. Anyone up on the art of thief-assassination?

The thief is tough. The knife is a little better at killing him than any other weapon, as I recall. To kill him dead, you need to be in the right location, I think - it's been a while since I've played the game the whole way through.
I'll have to keep that in mind. I kept with the idea of "bigger is better" and tried hacking him up with the axe. It didn't work, nor did the sword. Every run I've made at the game thus far, I've taken the knife with me but never thought to use it. Go figure.
Also, I liked the picture. I actually think I have Pitch Black somewhere in my DVD collection...
This bothers me a little, as I cannot see for the life of me why a thief (AKA: Dodge Skill Champion) would not be affected by the magical elf weapon of long-reachiness, yet a 'Nasty Knife' with no special attributes and the point-blankiest range of all WOULD. Bringing a knife to a sword fight is almost as bad as bringing one to a gun fight, and the thief is most definitely a point-blankus stabbing-man.
Also, I feel I should be worried that I somehow can't find too many pictures of those creatures in Pitch Black. Almost like they don't WANT to be seen...
