I wonder....

The introduction contains the word "automagically". I wonder if this is a typo or a pun.

The word "automagically" has existed for a while (see the Jargon File entry), so I presume the use is deliberate. -- Killian 10:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

which monster?

Editors seem to disagree which is the best monster for the jelly-and-boulder fort. Clearly, it should be sessile (CPU usage) and amorphous (to survive the scroll of earth).

  • spotted jellies have the most hit points of all candidates, for when you inevitably whack them accidentally.
  • blue jellies won't damage an intrinsically-resistant player, have the second-most hit points, and are compatible with cone of cold. Popular choice.
  • brown mold -- why?

All of these will divide if they deal enough passive damage, including to other monsters under conflict. --Tjr 20:28, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Spotted jellies don't divide. That's part of the cold passive attack, while spotted use acid.
As for brown mold, I cannot fathom a reason why they would be preferable. Jellies are amorphous and have more hit points. Any other advantage of a brown mold should also belong to the blue jelly. -- Qazmlpok 21:17, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
