A koala poses no direct threat to [[you]], possessing no physically damaging attacks of any sort.  However, its touch will 'calm', as in turn to peaceful, any monster (although some monsters may resist).  It is thus a large threat to any pet, since a peaceful monster is no longer your pet, and some may be difficult to tame again, particularly [[polymorph|polymorphed]] pets.  A pet koala, however, is very useful, since it can turn hostile monsters peaceful.  They are somewhat slow and not overly strong, however.  They can be tamed with [[Eucalyptus leaf|eucalyptus leaves]].

In SLASH'EM, the monster glyph z is for [z]outhern or Australian animals, the zruty having been moved to the apelike Y monster class. Below is an overview of the monsters in this new class, all modeled mostly after real-world counterparts.

Echidna

Echidnas are generally the first of the 'zouthern' animals seen; they are not terribly threatening, being rather slower than most animals, and doing comparatively little damage.

Platypus

A platypus is a somewhat more dangerous, having a poisonous kick. It is still somewhat slow, and can be easily taken out with ranged weapons if the poison is a problem.

Koala

A koala poses no direct threat to you, possessing no physically damaging attacks of any sort. However, its touch will 'calm', as in turn to peaceful, any monster (although some monsters may resist). It is thus a large threat to any pet, since a peaceful monster is no longer your pet, and some may be difficult to tame again, particularly polymorphed pets. A pet koala, however, is very useful, since it can turn hostile monsters peaceful. They are somewhat slow and not overly strong, however. They can be tamed with eucalyptus leaves.
