Monster changes

Zombies

• Probably the most significant monster change imported from EvilHack.
• Zombies now have two different attack types, one being a poisonous claw attack (effects and frequency are the same as a bite from a rabid rat), the other being a disease-inducing bite attack to the head. The latter is a very serious threat, as the ability to cure oneself from being terminally ill are almost non-existent in the early game.
• If the player becomes ill from a zombie bite, they only have a few turns to cure themselves, or they will die and turn into a zombie.
• This zombie can be encountered by other players if a bones file is generated.
• There is a very small chance that the player will be able to continue playing if they are turned into a zombie; however, they will be stuck in that form for the remainder of the game.
• A zombie's bite attack also has a chance of causing amnesia.
• Eating a zombie corpse will make the player ill and cause them to start turning into a zombie (tins of zombie meat 'cure' the meat and make it safe to eat).
• Attacking zombies at range and wearing a piece of armor that protects your head are highly recommended.
• Zombies can make other monsters terminally ill as well - the same methods used by the player to cure themselves of a terminal illness can be used/applied on monsters or pets also.

In Hack'EM there are a few additional ways to deal with zombies:

• Play as a Convict, Undead Slayer, or Necromancer. They all start with sickness resistance.
• Undead slayers deal extra damage versus undead. In addition, they are able to obliterate zombies so they don't leave corpses.
• Wear a tinfoil hat or a dunce cap protect you from the brains eating attack.
• Wearing a Ring of Psychic Resistance will also protect you from the amnesia attack, but not the sickness.
• Playing as an illithid will protect you from the brain eating attacks.

Dragons

• Significantly enhanced, they spawn with many more hit points (especially in the end game).
• Can engulf and digest creatures smaller than them.
• Can now bellow a frightful roar that causes Afraid status.
• Since they can roar, all adult dragons resist sonic damage.
• Only half of dragons are capable of roaring, and the engulf attack has been removed from half of the dragons.
• Increased difficulty of all dragons to 30, deep dragon to 35.
• Orange dragons periodically slumber (adapted from SpliceHack).

• A couple of things will now protect you from dragon roars:
  • Being a knight (they are naturally trained to fight dragons)
  • Wearing Dragonbane or Pridwen
  • Being confused
  • Having Psychic Resistance

• Yellow dragons get a passive acid attack instead of corrosion to mirror the YDS behavior.

Elementals

• The new elementals (from SpliceHack) can engulf creatures smaller than them.
• Some elementals can be zapped and transformed depending on the ray type.
• Ex: Zapping a water elemental with a wand of cold turns it into an ice elemental.
• All elementals (except ice elementals) resist sonic damage. They also resist being scared by musical instruments (e.g. the air elementals on the plane of air, so have a plan!)
• All elementals resist sickness.

Ghosts

• Ghosts and all incorporeal monsters can only be hit with blessed, silver, or bone objects.
• They can also turn invisible and reappear - scaring (and paralyzing) the player for a few turns.
• Ghosts now cannot be renamed (xnh).

Misc updates

• Amphisbaena resists stoning.
• Angels and Aleaxes can generate with harps.
