		+	How different is Medusa in SLASH'EM? I just tried polymorphing into a genetic engineer to polymorph and tame medusa. However I ran into some bizarre gaze behavior. <br />
		+	I was wearing a towel and an amulet of reflection. In vanilla, this would prevent Medusa from using her gaze attack, and thus she wouldn't turn herself to stone. Medusa was somehow still able to use her gaze attack against me, which turned herself to stone, despite me being blind. I don't know if this was just coincidence, but she stoned herself several times (stone to flesh) without fail; normally in Vanilla she takes a few rounds of "Medusa didn't notice her gaze was reflected" before actually killing herself. <br />
		+	And after I finally did tame her and turned her back into Medusa, she ''immediately'' used her gaze attack against me (yes, she was tame). And she turned herself to stone, and since I killed a tame monster I got the standard distant thunder penalty.
