First edition describing Kahraz-Arad.
{{spoiler}}
{{Variantonly}}
Kahraz-Arad is a sub-dungeon of [[Gloomy Caves]] with multiple levels. It is notable for both the Vault and the area beneath which ultimately leads to [[Genefourx vesana the grandmother carnivorous mutant plant]].
== Entrance ==
The entrance will always be located somewhere on the fourth level and look roughly like this:

The four guards will not attack you unless provoked, but neither will they assist you unless you have tamed them.
== Level Features ==
* Safe - Unless a monster follows you from the level above or below, the entire level will be void of hostiles. You can run around looting whatever you please from the deserted rooms - just don't steal from the Vault or the shop unless you're prepared for the consequences.
== Special Rooms ==
* [[Crow|Crow's Shop]] - Like [[Merka]], he has a non-agression pact with the local monsters and a budget of 3000 gold. His shop is somewhat larger than average.
* Secret room - There is a small room somewhere in the first level that appears to be a caved-in passage. It is not surrounded by metal walls unlike the [[Chest Rooms]]. Your best bet is to use a [[scroll of detect material]] and search for either [[lanterns]] ([[glass]]) or [[sol stones]] ([[obsidian]]).
* Vault - A privately-owned fortress that is guarded by a formidable array of [[dwarven guards]], [[kamikaze dwarves]] of [[Loraticus]], and [[Enquiox]]. [[Denim the vault keeper]] is 'investing' the two artifacts found there: the [[Shirt of the Golden Jaguar]] and the [[blessed shield of the Pheonix]].
== Special Levels ==
The levels below Kahraz-Arad have interesting characteristics and creatures:
* '''GC17''' - A very unique level where the entrance to the next lower level is completely surrounded by a moat, which cannot be crossed except by [[levitating]] or [[teleporting]].
* '''GC18''' - Populated entirely by a variety of [[carnivorous plants]].
* '''GenefourxLair''' - A watery level swarming with all manner of carnivorous plants including the biggest and nastiest one. Destroy it to stop new plants generating, much like '''UT3'''.
* '''[[TranquilPond]]''' - The reward for defeating [[Genefourx vesana]]. It is a small and peaceful lagoon with several fountains.
