 Thanks for those links -- some source-diving for me there.  Hey wow, I could be part of SLEX Devs! :-) I'm still holding out that some other variant might add these ideas to its hallucinatory code.  One day maybe :-)  Okay, back to it … </p>

 Thanks! The starting idea was just for the names. I don't think I designed anything radically new. It seemed the theme was to take some predictable features of the game, and give them a 2% tweak. For example, there's alternative versions of Minetown, Mine's End, and Sokoban in vanilla, and if you go to the variants, alternative versions of the Castle, and Gehennom, etc. But I hadn't seen an alternative Oracle out there so far (after this I'm bound to find out there's a 100 of them!), also the concept of shop monsters hasn't really got further than mimics.  Plus there's a lot more scope for construct monsters I think, e.g. the animated scrolls and tools – we've seen some of that already with the Killer Coins.  Along the way I also thought of another artifact (Snippety-Snap the +4 scroll and armour-shredding scissors, possibly should snip other paper and fabrics as well, maybe can invoke or apply for item crafting e.g. re-sizing armours) and the unofficial [[Unofficial_conduct#Barter|Barter]] conduct (a relative of [[user:SaintD|SaintD's]] [[Unofficial_conduct#Moneyless|Moneyless]]).

 :You know what would be cool? If you could give stats that those monsters might have if they existed, because I'm developing a variant that will implement (almost) any monster idea no matter how silly ;) --[[User:Bluescreenofdeath|Bluescreenofdeath]] ([[User talk:Bluescreenofdeath|talk]]) 06:05, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

 Super - what I'll do is keep this page as an index, and link to category pages for the descriptors. Thanks for encouragement! I was planning to make the veal currie more electric than fiery though (Valkyrie spin-off).  Phone zombies are blind and invisible (mainly invisible because they think they are); collision with a phone zombie has a chance of summoning the Kops.  :-) [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] ([[User talk:Wikid|talk]]) 09:24, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
