- This article is about the monster attribute. For other uses of Human, see Human.
Human is a monster attribute that indicates that a monster should be considered "human". It is defined as the macro M2_HUMAN. This is used to determine the following things:
- Whether eating a monster is cannibalism for a human player[1].
- Whether a sacrifice is of your own race for a human player[2].
- Whether killing a monster is murder[3]. Killing humans (and only humans) generated peaceful is murder, no matter what your starting race.
- The outcome of an attempt to tame a monster - human monsters cannot be tamed[4].
- The monster a randomly generated figurine is for[5]. Figurines of human monsters are (almost?) never generated.
- What to give when wishing for the corpses of quest guardians[6]
- What to give when wishing for a figurine - wishing for a human monster gives a random figurine[7].
- What responses to use when chatting with other roles' quest guardians[8] (possibly created by reverse genocide or found in bones).
- Whether a new form is appropriate when a monster is polymorphing [9]
- Whether monsters respect Elbereth or a scroll of scare monster when you are not standing on it - humans do not[10]. As @ do not respect Elbereth at all, this applies to monsters of other classes with the human attribute, only - currently, this means K Keystone Kops.
- Whether to adjust your alignment record when a monster is genocided[11]. Genociding human monsters reduces the alignment record of lawful adventurers, and increases that of chaotic ones.
- How shopkeepers address you[12] (cosmetic only).
- Whether a werecreature is in human or animal form[13].
