Within its depths lay numerous perils, including a vicious hydra and, for a time, a rogue necromancer who had sought shelter within its lowest caverns. Those who dared plumb its lowest levels would even find that the caverns interlinked with those of the distant Dungeon Despise.

Ultima VII (SNES Port)
