In [[Slash'EM Extended]], which incorporates the Pirate patch while using SLASH'EM as a base, this creature, which belongs to the {{white|B}} class of monsters, is known as an '''airborne parrot''' to distinguish it from the flightless {{white|c}} class creature retained from SLASH'EM.

A parrot is a monster introduced in SLASH'EM. It can be tamed with vegan food. It is slightly better in combat than a large dog, but cannot be reared from a smaller form. Due to what may be an oversight, it does not fly: do not displace it into water or lava!

Sounds

Parrots (as well as cockatoos) have some interesting things to say. Chatting with them produces one of the following messages:

<monster> squaarks louldly![1]
<monster> says 'Polly want a lembas wafer!'
<monster> says 'Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!'
<monster> says 'Who's a good boy, then?'
<monster> says 'Show us yer knickers!'
<monster> says 'You'll never make it!'
<monster> whistles suggestively!
<monster> says 'What sort of a sword do you call that!'

Variants

The Pirate patch adds a parrot which flies, as a possible starting pet for the Pirate role.
