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.

Revision as of 00:54, 28 December 2009

In SLASH'EM, the monster glyph z is for [z]outhern or Australian animals, the zruty having been moved to the apelike 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.

Echidna

Genocidable Yes
Weight 15

none

An echidna:

Reference SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/monst.c#line1858

Echidnas are generally the first of the 'zouthern' animals seen; they are not terribly threatening, being rather slower than most animals, and doing comparatively little damage.

Platypus

Difficulty unknown
Attacks

Claw 1d4, Kick poison 1d4

Base level 4
Base experience unknown
Speed 8
Base AC 8
Base MR 0
Alignment 0 (neutral)
Frequency (by normal means) Very rare, appears only outside of Gehennom
Genocidable Yes
Weight 20
Nutritional value 12
Size Tiny
Resistances none

none

A platypus

reference = SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/monst.c#line1865

A platypus is a somewhat more dangerous, having a poisonous kick. It is still somewhat slow, and can be easily taken out with ranged weapons if the poison is a problem.

Koala

Difficulty unknown
Attacks

Touch calm 0d0

Base level 7
Base experience unknown
Speed 4
Base AC 9
Base MR 10
Alignment 0 (neutral)
Frequency (by normal means) Quite rare, appears only outside of Gehennom
Genocidable Yes
Weight 150
Nutritional value 50
Size Small
Resistances none
Resistances conveyed

none

A koala:

Reference SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/monst.c#line1875

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 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 leaves.

Wombat

z wombat Wombat.png

Attacks

Kick 1d6, Bite 1d2

Base level 5
Base experience unknown
Speed 12
Base AC 5

A wombat:

Reference SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/monst.c#line1887

A wombat is a rather unextraordinary monster, being roughly equivalent to a wolf in terms of difficulty, and having no particular distinguishing attributes.
