It deserves mentioning that you can have a pet chamilion too, by feeding it when it is in the form of something domesticated. It really works.

:True, but that also works in normal nethack to tame chameleons. Perhaps it's worth mentioning that the reversion-instead-of-death property makes shapeshifters more useful pets in general in SLASH'EM, though. -[[User:Ion frigate|Ion frigate]] 20:21, March 10, 2010 (UTC) | :True, but that also works in normal nethack to tame chameleons.

Revision as of 19:21, 10 April 2010
Do we want blatant self-references to wiki markup in main pages?
Unless I'm very much mistaken, we don't really want self-references like
- The wiki markup [[pet (SLASH'EM)|]] will expand to [[pet (SLASH'EM)|pet]] and produce a link to this page.
in articles.
Unless there are any objections, I will remove this (nevertheless helpful) advice to a more appropriate place.

Untamable pets
Aligned priests, shopkeepers, and hostile minions are completely untamable even with the fun SLASH'EM polymorph trick. Are there any other untamable monsters? I know that the demon princes and medusa are easily tamed. What about the Wizard of Yendor? In Vanilla it's possible to wiz-mode monster create a tame Wizard of Yendor (and not a shopkeeper/priest), but I can't polymorph him even with level drain. Can a Genetic Engineer polymorph the wizard? I'd test this myself but I don't have SLASH'EM installed. I get the feeling he'd make a useless pet, but it might be a good method of keeping him from reappearing. -- Qazmlpok 19:21, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
