Revision as of 20:23, 6 June 2006
A corpse is the body of a dead monster. It is a very common comestible. Some monsters never drop corpses, while others may sometimes do so. Trolls are an exception and always leave corpses.
Some monsters leave poisonous corpses. Eating these drains your strength, so avoid unless you have poison resistance. See below for a list of poisonous corpses. Pets will instinctively avoid eating poisonous species. As a rule, if your pet can eat it, so can you. Tripe rations, dog, and cat corpses are exceptions to this rule.
Corpses must be eaten when fresh because they rot within a few moves of kill. Undead monsters never leave fresh corpses (after all, they are walking corpses to start with). An ice box or tinning kit can be used to prevent rotting and preserve corpses for later use. Eating a rotten corpse results in food poisoning; a eucalyptus leaf is the antidote to this fatal condition.
The corpses of yellow and purple fungi are hallucinogenic. Some claim that shriekers are hallucinogenic; this is incorrect.
