| − | In [[SLASH'EM]], the monster glyph {{white|z}} is for [z]outhern or Australian animals, the zruty having been moved to the apelike {{white|Y}} monster class. Below is an overview of the monsters in this new class, all modeled mostly after real-world counterparts. 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 to [[you]], possessing no physically damaging attacks of any sort. However, its touch will 'calm', as in turn to peaceful, any monster (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|polymorphed]] 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]].

| − | 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 [http://www.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.

| − | Kangaroos are quite a large threat through SLASH'EM's mid- and even late-game, since they hit very hard, are twice as fast as a player without [[speed]], and tend to appear in groups. Note that they have no [[magic resistance (monster)|magic resistance]], making [[sleep]] a very valid option against them.

| | + | The exact list of monsters that make up the zouthern animals changes depending on the variant - the monster class as it initially appears in SLASH'EM contains the following monsters: |

| | + | ===SpliceHack=== |
| | + | SpliceHack adds one new monster to the monster class: |
| | + | |
| | + | * {{yellow|z}} [[drop bear]] |
| | + | |
| | + | ==Origin== |
| | + | Zouthern animals are generally based on existing types of wildlife that inhabit the mainlands of Australia as well as its surrounding islands. |
