Beyond The Realms of Moral Possibility
Ripe from the cages of VoR's Hallucinatory Bestiary, we bring you the Chromatic Unicorns and the Morality Monsters.
Rarer than their monochrome cousins, chromatic unicorns are sought out by intrinsic gourmets, but can be strangely spicy. The chromatic unicorns do not have an alignment as we know it, but follow their own rules. These are opaque to most mortals apart from those granted hallucinatory visions. For sacrifice on all altars in the Dungeons of Doom, they count as cross-aligned.
Smiting things in Nethack is generally good, but whacking Morality Monsters can get the injudicious adventurer into precarious trouble. Unfortunately the whacking can be hard to avoid, as Morality Monsters when they appear are hard to eliminate without whacking, tend to increase on contact with cold iron, and can get in the way.
