The scroll of create monster creates one or more monsters around you.

Reading effects

Case Number of monsters created
blessed 1
uncursed 72/73 chance of 1; 1/73 chance of 2 to 5
cursed 72/73 chance of 13; 1/73 chance of 14 to 17
confused 72/73 of 13 acid blobs; 1/73 chance of 14 to 17 acid blobs

Monsters can also read this scroll, with the same effects.

Identification

This scroll self-identifies if you see the new monsters being created.

Strategy

This scroll might be used to create monsters for sacrificing, or for killing to gain XP, but it is also commonly blanked.

Advanced players are sometimes interested in reading these scrolls while confused in order to create massive numbers of acid blobs, e.g. for dispatching the Riders or as a protective fort against strong monsters.
