Growing up

Growing up is the process in which an NPC (non player character) such as a tame kitten turns into a larger version of itself (e.g a housecat). Monsters grow from killing monsters and receiving xp, from the effects of potions of gain level, or from wraith corpses.

Monsters will grow up as follows:

• Baby dragons grow into dragons of the same type.

• Kittens grow into housecats and then into large cats.

• Little dogs grow into dogs and then into large dogs.

• Ponys grow into horses and then into warhorses.

• Wolf cubs and winter wolf cubs grow into wolves and winter wolves.

• Naga hatchlings grow into nagas.

• Hellhound pups grow into hellhounds.

• Liches grow to demiliches, master liches, and then into arch-liches.

• Elves, Gnomes, Dwarves and Ogres grow into foo-lords, then foo-kings.

• Gargoyles grow into winged gargoyles (Although some are born with wings, and hence hatch from winged gargoyle eggs).

• Chickatrices grow into Cockatrices.

• There are many others listed in the source code linked below.
