 ===Very unsafe corpses===
-Unless you are polymorphed into a stoning-resistant form, eating any of these corpses will '''instantly''' result in [[YASD]].  If, however, you are in a stoning-resistant form before getting poison resistance, these corpses can provide it permanently.  Note that tinning them does '''not''' make them safe to eat.

-Many corpses that offer poison resistance are themselves poisonous or otherwise dangerous (a notable exception is the corpses of [[shrieker]]s, which can usually be found early). There are, however, many safe ways of acquiring poison resistance. For example, [[ring of poison resistance|rings]] and [[amulet versus poison|amulets]] both include one that protects you against poison. [[Green dragon scale mail]] also protects against poison.

 [[Barbarian]]s, [[healer]]s and [[orc (starting race)|orc]]s have a natural poison resistance. [[Monk]]s get a natural poison resistance when they reach [[experience level]] 3 and [[tourist]]s at level 20. Poison resistance is also granted when you are [[crowning|crowned]].
