# Rust monster or disenchanter
The monsters in the rust monster or disenchanter monster class are:

R&nbsp;rust monster
R&nbsp;disenchanter
Rust monsters and disenchanters can both degrade equipment. This monster class is a prime candidate for genocide. A rust monster corpse is safe to eat; however, eating a disenchanter is likely to be undesirable because it will remove one of your intrinsics.
