Stone to Flesh
I cast stone to flesh on a 2 stone golem statue and I got meatballs. Is this something Slashem specific or is there a random chance I will get meatballs anytime I do this?--Ndwolfwood 22:01, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

This is what stone to flesh says
"Turning a statue into the creature it depicts. If a tame pet gets turned to stone, this will restore it to its original state. If the creature is of a genocided species, this won't work; the statue will be transformed into an appropriate corpse if possible, or remain unchanged if that monster cannot leave a corpse. Additionally, if the monster is considered vegetarian food (and hence not fleshy) the statue will be turned into a single meatball instead. If the statue is of a unique monster or a quest guardian it will reanimate as a disguised doppelganger instead of the real creature, unless the statue was created by stoning that creature."Ndwolfwood 22:52, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
This is what what the stone golem page says
"Casting stone to flesh on either the "animated" stone golem or its statue will change it into a flesh golem. Stoning this flesh golem will turn it back to a stone golem."
I've tested it three times now so I am going to change the entry for stone golem to state casting stone to flesh on its staute will create a single meatball.Ndwolfwood 22:54, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- Stone golems are not fleshy, thus the statue becomes a meatball. It seems the entry for stone golem was simply incorrect. -- Qazmlpok 22:55, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- Reading the source, it turns out stone to flesh converts a statue of a vegetarian monster into a single meatball regardless of size (Source:Zap.c#line1622), and most golems are defined as vegetarian (Source:Mondata.h#line182). Admittely, most players never eat stone golems, so their classification is not obvious.
- Just in case: polymorphing into a purple worm and eating a stone golem does not break vegan conduct.
- This isn't fully consistent with the mechanics of petrification. If you whack a killer bee with a cockatrice corpse, it may turn into a rock, which "animates" into a meatball. --Tjr 22:59, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
