It will still hit even though they're immune to poison, and a character with high strength might be able to take out a statue gargoyle in one hit.

	:Either they'd have to get a pet with the "Hits monsters as a +1 weapon" intrinsic, or they'd have to get a pet that could wield weapons, and give it a +1 weapon. For the first option, the easiest pets to get are either baby dragons (from eggs), or certain minions (lawful ones in particular seem to mostly have that intrinsic). Other options of course include polymorph and taming. Unfortunately I can't find many pets that wield weapons which are easy to tame, though, but one sometimes acquires the random dwarf or gnome from a magic trap. -[[User:Ion frigate\|Ion frigate]] 18:21, January 5, 2010 (UTC)		:Either they'd have to get a pet with the "Hits monsters as a +1 weapon" intrinsic, or they'd have to get a pet that could wield weapons, and give it a +1 weapon.
