A gas spore, e , can be dangerous for the unprepared. They act as a "living mine" exploding in a small radius when killed, therefore likely to kill your pet if it is too close. The best strategy when faced with a gas spore is to step back and cast offensive spells, or shoot the gas spore with arrows, darts, or throwing rocks and junk weapons at them. Sleep spells will bounce off of them. If you cause a gas spore to explode next to a shopkeeper, he will regard it as a form of attack and will immediately turn hostile, this is a Bad Idea for non chaotics and it will also probably cause YASD if you are low level.
