nethack spoiler site http://www.nethack.de/ Maintainer: Sascha Wostmann (sascha@nethack.de) ----------------------------------------------------------------- by: Aaron Eichelberger Note: The information in this file is only claimed to be accurate for Nethack v3.2.2. These are the intrinsics which can be gained by eating monsters. If the intrinsic (in the list below) has the word (sometimes) next to it, then eating amonster in that category does not guarantee that you will get that intrinisic. If the intrinsic has the word (always) written next to it, then eating a monster in that category always confers that intrinsic (or effect). If a monster can infer multiple "sometimes" intrinsics, you will only get, at most, one of them, chosen at random. (i.e., you cannot get both teleport and teleport control from the same tengu) If a monster can infer both "sometimes" and "always" intrinsics, then you will get ALL of the "always" intrinsics and up to one of the "sometimes" intrinsics. (i.e., you will gain strength from eating a fire giant, and it is possible you will also get intrinsic fire resistance at the same time) ****************************************************************************** POISON RESISTANCE (sometimes) killer bee queen bee soldier ant giant beetle quivering blob cockatrice gremlin homunculus quasit tengu blue jelly cave spider giant spider scorpion white unicorn gray unicorn black unicorn xan green dragon brown mold yellow mold red mold shrieker violet fungus red naga hatchling red naga black naga hatchling black baga golden naga hatchling golden naga guardian naga hatchling guardian naga gray ooze brown pudding black pudding snake water moccasin pit viper cobra flesh golem nurse Medusa Wizard of Yendor Chromatic Dragon ****************************************************************************** FIRE RESISTANCE (sometimes) fire ant gelatinous cube hell hound pup hell hound Cerberus red dragon red mold fire giant master lich red naga hatchling red naga gray ooze flesh golem Wizard of Yendor salamander Chromatic Dragon Ixoth Lord Surtur ****************************************************************************** COLD RESISTANCE (sometimes) gelatinous cube winter wolf freezing sphere blue jelly white dragon brown mold frost giant lich demilich master lich gray ooze brown pudding black pudding ice troll yeti flesh golem Chromatic Dragon ****************************************************************************** SLEEP RESISTANCE (sometimes) gelatinous cube homunculus lemure orange dragon flesh golem Woodland-elf Green-elf Grey-elf elf-lord Elvenking elf High-elf Earendil Elwing Chromatic Dragon ****************************************************************************** SHOCK RESISTANCE (sometimes) gelatinous cube blue dragon brown pudding black pudding flesh golem electric eel Chromatic Dragon ****************************************************************************** DISINTIGRATION RESISTANCE (sometimes) black dragon Chromatic Dragon ****************************************************************************** TELEPATHY (sometimes) floating eye mind flayer ****************************************************************************** TELEPORT (sometimes) tengu leprechaun wood nymph water nymph mountain nymph quantum mechanic Wizard of Yendor ****************************************************************************** TELEPORT CONTROL (sometimes) tengu Wizard of Yendor Death :) Pestilence :) Famine :) ****************************************************************************** AGGRAVATE MONSTER (always -

This file is a result of source diving... and a great deal of boredom. --The Author
