Have you considered rock crabs in the chaos tunnels? I'm almost certain one of the entrances takes you right to them, and there is a safe spot in there. If your friend or friends ran through first, they could distract the crabs while you make it to the safe spot. The dangerous parts of this is that one might hit you while you are collecting your loot. Though a glory should allow you to make it back to your grave in time. Also, I think crabs might run so ice spells would be advisable. While these would be nowhere near as good as lobsters, it is a burst able charm monster none the less. Oh, it drops 10 charms at a time, too.
