Is there any way to specify that a room should contain a named monster?

Is there any way to specify that a room should contain a named monster?

(As in the kind generated by Evil Chests and some Inconsequentia quests, not one of the predefined minibosses like the crab king)

 

Nope. Closest you can get is the <horde> command, which designates a group of monsters as a platoon and makes one of them the leader.

 

Related question: can I give a horde an id that can be checked in scripts?

 

You should be able to. Look on some of the core files on the lower floors, with the corrupted Krong altars.

 

I thought they just specified several individual monsters for those.

 

It is possible to make a room spawn with a specified named miniboss instead, like the Great Pumpkin?
