During inventory, statues are often described as 'empty.' What might a non-empty statue contain? And how might one access the contents? (unsigned comment by 16:18, 16 March 2006 N8chz)
- I do not remember all the details, but...
- If you hit a monster with a cockatrice corpse, it becomes a statue. The monster inventory becomes the statue contents. So the statue of a grid bug that I sometimes carry around is empty, because grid bugs normally carry nothing. To get the contents, the only method I know is to learn the stone to flesh spell, cast it on a statue, then kill the resulting monster and take the dropped items. --Kernigh 20:26, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
- You can also smash the statue to rubble and take its contents from the pile. Polymorphing the statue isn't recommended, as if you polymorph any container into a non-container (in this case, likely a boulder), the contents are lost. GreyKnight 15:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Oracle statue weight
Why do not the oracle statues weigh the same every game? Sometimes, I can lift some, but not all foo centaur statues (individually).
Their weight should be 3/2*corpse weight + inventory weight. This also occurrs when all involved statues are empty and depict the same monster type. -Tjr 13:09, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Weight measurements in one wizard mode game:
Monster type | Measured weight | Predicted weight |
---|---|---|
Forest centaur | 22 | 3825 |
Forest centaur | 1275 | 3825 |
Mountain centaur | 15 | 3825 |
Mountain centaur | 45 | 3825 |
Plains centaur | 600 | 3750 |
Plains centaur | 30 | 3750 |
Plains centaur | 1350 | 3750 |
Plains centaur | 225 | 3750 |

- The same code is responsible for C343-36: Weight of corpses on special levels may not be calculated correctly, which will be fixed in next version. --paxed 11:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
