-Mariliths are even better as polyforms, though turning into one will break worn [[body armor]], and you are similarly restricted to boots, gloves and non-silver weapons. Fortunately, you can #[[twoweapon]] as a marilith if your original role can, and the marilith's bare-handed melee attacks have the greatest chance to gate in other tame demons, which are also likely to be mariliths.

 Mariliths make excellent [[pet]]s due to their six attacks and natural AC, which compensates for their inability to wear armor outside of [[gloves]] and a [[helm]] - though equipping them with powerful items and weapons is also much more straightforward as a result. Their other main drawbacks include their weakness to silver, [[inediate]] diet and comparatively low HP; additionally, a marilith that is killed will not leave a [[corpse]] to revive. Due to their high monster MR, gating them yourself is one of the more reliable methods for obtaining a tame marilith.

-Mariliths are dangerous foes to run into before Gehennom, and remain troublesome to face even once a play is prepared for the depths of Hell - they have a stellar natural [[AC]] of -6 and 80 [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR]], can [[see invisible]], and move at the same base [[speed]] as you. Be well-armored and have your best weapons at the ready if one approaches - a blessed, [[silver]] and/or well-enchanted weapon at around [[Skilled]] level should do her in quickly.

-The marilith's low level works in the favor of [[Doppelganger (starting race)|Dopplegangers]], who can reliably turn into mariliths at experience level 7 and potentially gate in others with bare-handed attacks, though they only get 5 per move due to the lack of twoweapon skill; other races can also do so with [[polymorph control]]. As in vanilla, gating via polyself is generally preferable if you want a tame marilith, since it can be done at a much lower level.
