Killed about 6 of these while wandering through the mountains, and had the Necklace of defiance drop on the first kill. Ac 8 neck piece melee. One of the highest ac giving neckpieces to my knowledge with a low weight (this seems to be the key for most monks) Didn't think it was worth much, but I had offers upwards of 1k for this. just a littlke info for ya
