In SpliceHack a transmuter is a monster that can change the material of items.

The transmuter's claw attack will change the material of your armor. If you aren't wearing armor, your worn rings might be affected.[1]

The transmuter's passive attack will warp the material of items that hit the transmuter in melee.[2] This affects any wielded item, not just weapons. It also affects polearms and lances that pound the transmuter, and the gloves of a bare-handed attacker.

Strategy

Uncontrolled material changes are undesirable, so in most cases transmuters should be fought with ranged weapons or spells.

However sometimes changing an object material is useful. In SpliceHack an armor's material can affect its AC, and there are damage bonuses for using weapons made of iron, copper and silver. Some materials such as mithril are also immune to erosion. A scroll of change material exists, but scrolls are single-use. An alternative option is to wield the item that needs to be warped, wear some junk, and repeatedly hit the transmuter in melee until you get the material you want.
