I'm really better at coming up with ideas than actually coding or balancing them, so these are just theoretical. If anyone wants to try to implement these, feel free to do so!
NOTE: This permission does not apply to the SlashTHEM dev team unless the Elph class is permanently reinstated.
Contents
Mustelids
As you may or may not know, I'm fond of ferrets, so when I attempted and failed to make my own branch, I included them as pets, and added some other mustelids, to boot. They would all use r glyphs, and the glyph would be changed to "rodent or mustelid".
- r Ferret kit, ferret, large ferret - Domestic, approximately equal to their cat counterparts strength-wise.
- r Skunk - Would have a poisonous breath attack, which might create small stinking clouds, although that might be a SMOP (Credit for the stinking cloud idea goes to Cherokee Jack).
- r Ermine - Would have some sort of cold-related property, either an attack or a corpse resistance, or possibly both.
- r Otter - Amphibious, good at hunting sea monsters (Idea thanks to Cherokee Jack)
- SLASH'EM's wolverines and giant badgers would be moved to this category, and regular badgers would also be added.
Also possibly mink and stoats, but I'm not sure what kind of properties they would have. Maybe mink corpses would have an above-average gold value, or mink would have a seduction attack as a shoutout to Minerva Mink?
Vortex
Aquatic aliens from the Ecco the Dolphin series.
- ; Vortex drone - Has four claw attacks, the last of which is a drowning attack.
- ; Vortex warrior - Has two claw attacks, a teleporting hug attack, and can spit acid. Although it may be a SMOP, the hug could alternatively be a level teleport. If used in SLASH'EM Extended, the hug should be AD_ABDC.
New classes
User:Kahran042/YANI/Erdrick - A class based on Dragon Warrior/Quest protagonists, specifically intended for SLASH'EM.
DQ Slime
Based on the monster classes from various Dragon Warrior/Quest games, this class would start out on the level of some of Slash'EM Extended's "harder than hard" classes, but would become super-powerful at higher levels. I'm not sure of what powers, exactly, it would have, but one of them would probably be the ability to breathe fire, since that's a common ability among playable slime classes in DQ. Another level up ability I thought of is the ability to temporarily polymorph into a random h or @.
Ranks
- Globule (1-2)
- Moist (3-5)
- Wiggly (6-8)
- Jiggly (9-13)
- Slurry (14-17)
- Slime Knight (18-21)
- Slime Hero (22-25)
- King Slime (26-29)
- Slime God (30)
Deities (pantheon: Dragon Quest series)
- Lawful: Master Dragon
- Neutral: _Rubiss
- Chaotic: Malroth
Race: Any
Alignment: Neutral or chaotic
Quest ideas
- Leader: the Slime Emperor (b)
- Guardians: globule (b)
- Nemesis: legendary hero (@) - would have a couple of weapon attacks and clerical spellcasting
- Artifact: The Slime Crown (helmet; not sure of its abilities, but would probably have some sort of power against player monsters and could be invoked for some sort of effect similar to actual DQ Slimes' ability to merge into a King Slime)
The death message for DQ Slime PCs would be "(monster) hast done well in defeating you."
Again, all of this is really just a framework. I have no ideas about balance or coding, so I don't have anything too concrete numbers-wise here.
Wanderer
A high-difficulty class that starts out with literally no equipment, but is capable of reaching expert or grand master in all skills.
Burst Linker
Based on the light novel series and anime Accel World, I have more stuff for this than the Wanderer, but less than the Dragon Quarrior-themed classes - basically, just some quest stuff.
- Quest leader: Kuroyukihime
- Quest nemesis: Dusk Taker (would have the gremlin's ability theft ability, but I'm not sure of any other powers)
- Quest artifact: ?
- Quest home: Tokyo
- Quest locate: Accel World
- Quest end: The field with no limits
Patch update ideas
For the Grudge patch:
- Cats vs. rats.
- Dogs vs. monkeys.
- Gnomes vs. kobolds.
- Otters (see above) vs. sea monsters. (loosely based on Cherokee Jack's suggestion)

- leprechaun wizard - Summon Sphere (same as gnomish wizard)
- brownie - ?
- movanic deva - ?
- monadic deva - ?
- astral deva - ?
- Planetar - ?
- Solar - ?
- gnoll shaman - ?

New rumors
True:
.senutrof gnidaer naht erom rof desu eb nac srorriM A knight knows armor. Purple is a powerful color. They say that it's possible to live forever in the dungeon without dying.
False:
A sage knows scrolls. A wizard knows wands. An obvious lesbian will bring great news, and a grand piano will fall on you. If you forgive Deneb, you can't get the best ending. J. S. has checked in and requested tea with sugar. My brother sends his regards. Krakens have a 1/128 chance of dropping the Gutsy Bat. Roni is life. The 40th level is death. To get the Grail, you have to defeat Luvalon without using tarot cards or running away.

Miscellaneous
- Some new monsters for real zoos, based on historical royal menageries:
- d hyena - already exists in SLASH'EM Extended
- f lion
- f lioness - I see this as being a separate monster due to the amount of sexual dimorphism in lions.
- f cheetah
- f lynx - already exists in SLASH'EM, but could be moved to the list of eligible monsters for real zoos
- q giraffe
- q polar bear
- q camel
- q hippopotamus
- q rhinoceros
- q zebra
- r porcupine - would have some sort of passive attack with its spines
- As a side note to the above, the zoo in the Yeoman quest home level should be replaced with a real zoo.
- Some new monsters from Dragon Warrior/Quest:
- b Slime
- b Slimebeth
- b Metal Slime
- b Heal Slime (technically, should be Healer, but I'm using the Japanese name to avoid confusion with the character class)
- b Cure Slime (should be Curer, but I'm using the Japanese name for consistency with its lower form.)
- r Prank Gopher
- r Lethal Gopher
- B Drakee
- B Magidrakee
- B Drakeema
- D Dragon (should be Green Dragon, but there's already a monster by that name, so I'm using the Japanese name.)
- D Kith Dragon (see Dragon, but replace Green with Blue.)
- D Darth Dragon (see Kith Dragon, but replace Blue with Red.)
- P Babble
- P Metal Babble
- ' Bomb Crag (self-destructs for physical damage, using the "muddy explosion" graphics - their self-destruct ability in-game was a multi-target instant-death spell, but that's a bit unfair even by NetHack standards)
- @ King Lorik - Erdrick quest leader
- D Dragonlord - Erdrick quest nemesis
- @ royal guard - Erdrick quest guardian
- Some of the woodchuck variants from Beath of Flams:
- r pyrochuck - breathes fire
- r sasquachuck - breathes ice and has a hug attack
- r geochuck - high defense, if used in SLASH'EM, would have the "needs +1 weapon to hit" property
- r osteochuck - undead, has the catoblepas's death gaze
- r pegachuck - flies
- r arborachuck - high agility, magic missile breath[1]
- r merchuck - amphibious
- r gorgon woodchuck - petrifying gaze
- r chucktaur - uses weapons
- r robochuck - damaging (electric?) gaze, very high defense, if used in SLASH'EM, would have the "needs +2 weapon to hit" property
- r kaiserchuck - M2_PRINCE, uses weapons and has a humanoid body, but is otherwise weaker than a normal woodchuck
- Some creatures from Japanese mythology and folklore:
- h kappa - amphibious humanoid, can be tamed with cucumbers
- n yuki-onna - literally "snow woman", would have typical nymph abilities, as well as Asmodeus' ice magic
- w tsuchinoko - ultra-rare, possible even nogen
- ' kasa-obake - "umbrella goblin", mostly harmless
- Other new monsters:
- r capybara - swims, has the koala's calming ability (source: https://kahran042.tumblr.com/post/162135523771/gaylor-moon-lizardsister-33v0-33v0-what)
- B road runner - since we already have coyotes...
- Some new items:
- ) kukri (appearance: Gurkha knife) - a stronger dagger, largely because, as TV Tropes puts it, Kukris Are Kool.
- % cucumber - moderate nutrition, can be used to tame kappa. Maybe cucumbers on the ground could have a scare monster effect on domestic cats?
- *, *, *, or * tourmaline stone (appearance: red/green/violet/pink gem) - low-value gem
- *, *, or * spinel (appearance: red/violet/pink gem) - moderately valuable gem
- * or * rhodochrosite stone (appearance: red/pink gem) - low-value gem
- * or * iolite stone (appearance: blue/violet gem) - moderately valuable gem
- * malachite stone (appearance: green gem) - moderately valuable gem
- * lapis lazuli (appearance: blue gem) - moderately valuable gem
- * kunzite stone (appearance: pink gem) - moderately valuable gem
- * rose quartz stone (appearance: pink gem) - moderately valuable gem
- * morganite stone (appearance: pink gem) - high-value gem
- * worthless piece of pink glass (appearance: pink gem)
- ) CrySpear (appearance: crystalline spear) - artifact, made of mineral, uses spear skill, increases healing rate when wielded[2]
- / wand of stone to flesh (appearance: randomized, default is "serpentine wand" which is made of mineral) - because why should literate people have all the fun?
- Based on personal observations, cats should get nutrition from drinking out of toilets. They should also get some sort of benefit, or at least a YAFM, from #sit-ting in sinks.
- New Japanese item names:
- chain mail - kusari-katabira
- asian pear - pear
- pear - western pear
- A possible encyclopedia entry for SLASH'EM's mongbats: Resembling a monkey as much as a bat, these winged anomalies are swift and powerful in their attacks. Though seldom encountered except in the deepest dungeons, encountering one in the dim subterranean light can unnerve even the stoutest among you. [ Ultima VI Compendium, by Greg Malone ]
- An addition to the encyclopedia entry for cats: “The thing about cats,” Leonardo said, working along until the paper was covered, “is the way they’re made. Those muscles in the back legs. Can you imagine how strong they must be? That's why cats can jump so high. And the back, it can move almost any way, like a sword blade. “Everything is in balance,” Leonardo went on, “all the muscles and bones and joints. That’s what I want in the painting, too.” [ Time Cat, by Lloyd Alexander ]
- Hallucinatory breath weapons:
- A gleaming, icy gust of wind
- Broken glass
- Butterflies
- Chaos
- Cotton candy
- Dark matter
- Flowers
- Gelatin
- Gravity
- Holy light
- Hornets
- Inertia
- Laser beams
- Magma
- Meteors
- Mold spores
- Nether
- Nexus
- Oil
- Plasma
- Prismatic light
- Salt
- Sand
- Scorching gas
- Soap bubbles
- Steam
- Toxic waste
- Water
- Wind
- Since Pelias is a wizard in the original Conan stories, and is described as a "second rate sorcerer" by Thoth Amon, he should have spellcasting abilities.
- Hallucinating Valkyries and Ice Mages should "pine for the fjords" instead of yearning for their homelands.
