Talk:Woodchuck

Oddly enough, I found a woodchuck on my current run. I have no idea how it came to be in the game, but I did tame it using charm monster. Even more oddly, it seems it can survive under (or over) water and it eats walls. It's proven to be very helpful in the mazes of Gehennom, moreso since it is stoo weak to start a fight w/ anything and therefore requires very little protection. 205.152.67.36 21:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

• Nice work. Out of interest, were you playing vanilla 3.4.3 or a variant like SLASH'EM? If vanilla, was it patched? Woodchucks are very specifically not created in vanilla, although you may have stumbled on to a bones level from someone morbidly curious that summoned a figurine, reverse genocided them or some such. -- Kalon 22:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

My guess on it's appearance is a polymorph trap on the level. Woodchucks are a valid polymorph form, and I have seen several while purposely polymorphing monsters. Qazmlpok 01:30, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
