Lesser homunculus

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A lesser homunculus, i, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. The lesser homunculus is a type of minor demon that is nearly identical to the homunculus of NetHack, with the same 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 lesser homunculus has a sleep-inducing bite, and possesses sleep resistance and poison resistance along with a weakness to silver.

A lesser homunculus corpse is poisonous to eat, and eating a lesser homunculus corpse or tin grants 115 each (+6%) of additional poison resistance and sleep resistance.

Generation

Randomly-generated lesser homunculi may be generated as peaceful towards chaotic heroes and Infidels. A lesser homunculus can grow up into a homunculus.

Infidels start the game with a tame lesser homunculus, unless they are a drow Infidel in EvilHack.

Lesser homunculi appear among the random i that are part of the first quest monster class for Knights and make up 24175 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, lesser homunculi also appear among the random i that are part of the second quest monster class for Necromancers and make up 6175 of the monsters randomly generated on the Necromancer quest.
