A '''lesser homunculus''', {{green|i}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. The lesser homunculus is nearly identical to the [[homunculus]] of ''NetHack'', with the same 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 [[carinvore]]s similar to the homunculus of [[xNetHack]].

A lesser homunculus has a [[sleep]]-inducing bite, and possesses [[sleep resistance]] and [[poison resistance]] along with a weakness to [[silver]].

A lesser homunculus [[corpse]] is [[poisonous]] to [[eat]], and eating a lesser homunculus corpse or [[tin]] has a roughly {{frac|15}} chance each (~6%) of conveying poison resistance or sleep resistance.

==Generation==
Randomly-generated lesser homunculi may be generated as peaceful towards chaotic heroes and [[Infidel]]s. A lesser homunculus can [[grow up]] into a [[Homunculus (EvilHack)|homunculus]].

Infidels start the game with a tame lesser homunculus, unless they are a [[Drow (starting race)|drow]] Infidel in EvilHack.

Lesser 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, lesser 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]].
