Not that I know of - they aren't randomly generated, although they could appear via polymorph (and since they multiply, that could generate real ones from the original, which would eventually revert back; the clones would not revert). -Ion frigate 22:38, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Level drain doesn't change creature class. A giant flea will just become a lower level giant flea, not a giant tick. So to get a giant tick you need to (self) polymorph for the multiply attack or self-polymorph and lay an egg. -- Qazmlpok 22:49, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
