A meat stick is a type of food that very rarely appears in NetHack.

Generation

Meat sticks are only created by zapping a spell of stone to flesh at a wand with the marble randomized appearance.

Description

Meat sticks function similarly to tripe rations - carnivorous pets consider it a treat, and keeping one in open inventory will cause them to try and stay close to you. When eaten, they give a meager 5 nutrition.

Strategy

Meat sticks are generally junk items, and are typically the result of an accidental stone to flesh zap at yourself - or else a deliberate one meant to cure stoning. A meat stick's nutrition is also incredibly low, so their best use is as a lightweight treat to feed any meat-eating pets or else tame carnivorous domestic animals.

History

The meat stick is introduced alongside the spellbook of stone to flesh in NetHack 3.3.0.

Variants

SLASH'EM

In SLASH'EM, meat sticks can be randomly generated as wares found in food stores.
