| − | '''Zouthern animals''' are a [[monster class]] added in [[SLASH'EM]], represented by the symbol {{white|z}}. (Zruties, which previously occupied this glyph, are merged into the {{monclass|Y}} class.) Zouthern animals are generally based on real Australian wildlife. All have a chance to be peaceful if you are [[neutral]], except for the Tasmanian devil. | + | The '''zouthern animal''' is a [[monster class]] introduced in [[SLASH'EM]], and also appears in [[SlashTHEM]], [[SpliceHack]], and [[Hack'EM]]. It is represented by the lowercase [[z]] glyph ({{white|z}}). The zouthern animals are designated internally by the macro '''S_ZOUTHERN''', and represent mammals from the "zouthern" (southern) continent of Australia and nearby islands. |

| − | A koala poses no direct threat, possessing no physically damaging attacks of any sort. Its calming touch will abort any active [[technique]]s, but is otherwise harmless. However, other monsters affected by it will turn to peaceful (although some monsters may resist). It is thus a large threat to any pet, since a peaceful monster is no longer your pet, and some may be difficult to tame again, particularly [[polymorph]]ed pets. A pet koala, however, is very useful, since it can turn hostile monsters peaceful. They are somewhat slow and not overly strong, however. They can be tamed with [[Eucalyptus leaf|eucalyptus leaves]] and will not eat anything else.

| − | A Tasmanian devil can eat organic items and engulf non-organic ones, much in the manner of a [[gelatinous cube]]. This is likely a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_Devil_(Looney_Tunes) Taz] from ''Looney Tunes''. Like most [[Monster (SLASH'EM)|SLASH'EM monsters]], it is somewhat more dangerous than vanilla monsters that appear at the same time.
