I have a very unusual pet. It may have originally been a Xorn or a humanoid monster that was generated with the Ring of Polymorph in its inventory since there were no rings like that yet in the dunegon. The pet changes form every few turns or so (when I tamed it, I thought it was a pony). Is there any way to alleviate it of its polymorphic plight? [[User:FJH|FJH]] 22:07, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

 :No. You tamed a chameleon that was in the form of a pony. It has nothing to do with a ring of polymorph; monsters can't make sure of any rings. It'll probably get itself killed fairly quickly. Abandon it if you want, they're not very useful as pets. -- [[User:Qazmlpok|Qazmlpok]] 22:42, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 So, is it a good technique to wear an uncursed ring of polymorph, wait until you morph into something powerful, and then take it off? Does experience and levels carry on to your original body after your polymorphed form dies?
