 Abilities 

Eat Metal :Rust monsters who successfully disarm a target of a metal weapon (other weapons they won't bother) immediately eat them, destroying the weapon. Magical weapons are immune to this effect, since they take longer to melt.

Rust Metal : After eating weapons (tasty snacks!) rust monsters start in on anybody in metal armor, dealing damage directly to the armor. In essence, this deals damage to the wearer as well, since the armor is reduced in the amount of health it provides. Like removing armor, damage dealt this way cannot take the target below 1 hp. Any armor so affected provides less armor than normal (min 0) until repaired, but still reduces initiative. Also affects magical metal armors, but neither magical or non magical armors are completely destroyed, unless the rust monster is left along with a suit of armor to give it time to munch on it.
