Talk:Foocubus

"You have a curious feeling..."

I have that sometimes, as a negative effect. Wonder what it means.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.250.246.11 (talk • contribs)

You got the level drain, but it was blocked by some artifact such as Excalibur, or you were polymorphed into a drain-resistant monster.--Ray Chason 18:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Level 1 Succubus

What happens when you have sex with a succubus at level 1 and it de-levels you? Also, what happens when it says "You're such a nice guy, I wish..."?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.132.29 (talk • contribs)

When you are drained from level 1, whatever the cause, you die; if it's a foocubus, your score line says you died of "overexertion." So don't be too hasty about kicking sinks.

When you get the "nice guy/sweet lady" message, the foocubus teleports away (except on a no-teleport level) and remains in condition to try again; it does not autocancel, nor complain of a headache.--Ray Chason 01:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Which is which

Any chance of a clarification as to which is male and which is female? I always forget... 82.24.163.179 10:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Incubus in Latin means "lying upon"; succubus (i.e. sub-cubus) means "lying beneath". It seems even devils prefer the missionary position.--Ray Chason 17:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Autocancel and stoning

Is it possible to un-cancel a foocubus by stoning and stone-to-fleshing it? -- Tjr 23:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

This was possible through 3.4.1 (bug SC341-10), but foocubi and nymphs no longer uncancel. See zap.c, line 511. I suppose you have me to blame for that.--Ray Chason 00:13, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
