A greater homunculus, i, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. The greater homunculus is small rather than tiny like the other homunculi, with better AC and similar traits: flight, infravision, infra-visibility, and the ability to follow a hero to other levels when adjacent to them. In Hack'EM, they are also carnivores similar to the homunculus of xNetHack.
A greater homunculus has a sleep-inducing bite, and possesses sleep resistance and poison resistance along with a weakness to silver.
A greater homunculus corpse is poisonous to eat, and eating a greater homunculus corpse or tin grants 1⁄5 chance each (+20%) of additional poison resistance and sleep resistance.
Generation
Randomly-generated greater homunculi may be generated as peaceful towards chaotic heroes and Infidels. A homunculus can grow up into a greater homunculus.
Greater homunculi appear among the random i that are part of the first quest monster class for Knights and make up 24⁄175 of the monsters that are randomly generated on the Knight quest. They also appear among the random i that are generated on each floor of the Wizard quest at level creation. In Hack'EM, greater homunculi also appear among the random i that are part of the second quest monster class for Necromancers and make up 6⁄175 of the monsters randomly generated on the Necromancer quest.
