Forum:Best ever pet polymorphs.

< Forum:Watercooler

What's the best thing you've ever polymorphed a pet into? I just used wand of polymorph on level 1 and got an Olog-hai from my starting kitten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User (talk • contribs) 06:19, 28 November 2018‎ (UTC)

First off, you should always sign your edits with four tildes.

At the very beginning of the game any pet more powerful than the starting (potential) large dog or cat can be quite helpful. Get the protection from the priest, have your pet kill them for a possible cloak of magic resistance and some nice spellbooks. They can also get you out of trouble in many occasions! I once had an evil wizard who loved his starting wand of polymorph kitten Rock Troll. Went very far into the game with me! I usually do not use the starting wand of poly for this due to system shock risk, but it can be fun sometimes!

Not really the wand, but still polymorph: I was playing a pacifist and found the elusive polymorph trap. It could not have gone much better! I polymorphed my first pet (by obliging them to walk into the trap with a leash) into a Titan on the first try! For my next pet, it then took me exactly two tries to get a silver dragon. I later found a pony, tamed it, and returned to the poly trap. My very first try? A yellow dragon! Wow! was I über-excited! That character survived a long time. I succumbed to the usual gnome zombie, gecko, lichen, etc., however... --User (talk) 06:16, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

I remember recently turning Schrodinger's Cat into Schrodinger's purple worm with a polymorph trap and it ate a few shopkeepers. And the time I entered a level with a pet cat and left with a pet guardian naga. Shapeshifter pets are fun, too, if you have a magic whistle. - Andrio Celos (talk) 06:50, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
