You may notice that the Horned Reaper is quite a pain in the ass. Two things that annoy him are sleeping (yes, SLEEPING) and receiving gold. Although giving him gold every once in awhile shuts up that 'Your creatures are getting angry', be aware that it is a false hope. My experience shows that the Horned Reaper will get angry under one or more of three conditions :

  • Too much sleep
  • Too much gold
  • Too much time passes. The game track show long the creature has been in the dungeon on the Creature Information Panel.

Basically what this means is that when Horny shows up he is a time bomb waiting to happen. When he gets angry (and he WILL get angry!) you can use these strategies :

1) lock him behind a door with a lair, hatchery, and training room.

2) just carry him around with the hand of evil. Creatures in this state require no food and are basically 'frozen' in time. You can build, excavate, etc.. and do everything with those guys in your Hand of Evil. Except slapping. But if you set the computer assistant to 'Green', it does that for you.
