"Does anyone have a list of the different things different
monsters do to you after eating them. I know about many of the
ones on the upper levels, but was curious about the critters
later on."
Here's the list. This is a SPOILER and may hinder your enjoyment of
the game. It was derived from the source to hack version 1.0.3 (for
4.2BSD). You may not wish to read further.
Any corpse except a dead acid blob or dead lizard can become tainted.
Eating a tainted corpse makes you sick.
Poisonous monsters are acid blob, giant beetle, homunculus, killer bee,
scorpion, giant ant, dragon, kobold, snake, and vampire. If you eat
one and are not resistant to poison, you have an 80% chance of losing 4
strength points and 15 hit points.
Inedible monsters are unicorn, xan, zruty, floating eye, leprechaun,
nymph, orc, purple worm, quasit, rust monster, and umber hulk. If you
eat one, you lose hit points, but no strength points.
Dead lizard: if you are confused, you will become unconfused in two
turns.
Leprechaun, nymph, tengu: you start teleporting.
Wraith: increment your experience level.
Nurse: heal you up (restore hit points to max). But also:
Nurse, human (shopkeeper, guard, wizard, but not ghost) and dog (tame
or wild): you start aggravating monsters, as though you were wearing
the ring.
Invisible stalker: if you are invisible when you eat it, you will be
invisible forevermore, and will be able to see invisible things. If
you weren't invisible, you become invisible for from 50 to 150 turns,
but don't gain invisible sight. (This changed from version 1.0.2, when
you always gained invisible sight.) In either event, you become
confused for 50 turns.
Bat: you become confused for 50 turns.
Dragon: you attain fire resistance, as though wearing the ring.
Floating eye: you attain telepathy. Whenever you are blind, you can
see all creatures on your level.
Floating sphere, yeti: you attain cold resistance, as though wearing
the ring.
Killer bee, scorpion: you attain poison resistance, as though wearing
the ring.
Cockatrice: you turn to stone.
Acid blob: you stop turning to stone! Since it can't become tainted, a
dead acid blob is a good thing to carry into battle against a
cockatrice.
Mimic: you spend 30 turns mimicing a treasure chest.
