A '''greater homunculus''', {{green|i}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. The greater homunculus is [[small]] rather than tiny like the other homunculi, with better [[AC]] and similar traits: [[flight]], [[infravision]], infra-visibility, and the ability to follow a [[hero]] to other levels when adjacent to them. In Hack'EM, they are also [[carnivore]]s similar to the homunculus of [[xNetHack]].<br />
<br />
A greater homunculus has a [[sleep]]-inducing bite, and possesses [[sleep resistance]] and [[poison resistance]] along with a weakness to [[silver]].<br />
<br />
A greater homunculus [[corpse]] is [[poisonous]] to [[eat]], and eating a greater homunculus corpse or [[tin]] grants {{frac|5}} chance each (+20%) of [[Partial intrinsic|additional poison resistance and sleep resistance]].<br />
<br />
==Generation==<br />
Randomly-generated greater homunculi may be generated as peaceful towards chaotic heroes and [[Infidel]]s. A [[Homunculus (EvilHack)|homunculus]] can [[grow up]] into a greater homunculus.<br />
<br />
Greater homunculi appear among the random {{white|i}} that are part of the first [[quest]] [[monster class]] for [[Knight]]s and make up {{frac|24|175}} of the monsters that are randomly generated on the [[Knight quest]]. They also appear among the random {{white|i}} that are generated on each floor of the [[Wizard quest]] at level creation. In Hack'EM, greater homunculi also appear among the random {{white|i}} that are part of the second quest monster class for [[Necromancer/Hack'EM|Necromancers]] and make up {{frac|6|175}} of the monsters randomly generated on the [[Necromancer quest]].<br />
