I believe this effect can also be achieved by eating a giant beetle or a homunculus. Now I just wish you could get the effect of potion of speed by eating a jaguar, or at least have it repair your legs after a xan has pricked you. Dave Fox ..!ptsfa!df

Only killer bee and scorpion corpses confer intrinsic poison resistance on the eater. Eating a giant beetle or homunculus has no effect other than to make you sick. All this is true of hack v1.0.2. Like most of the world, I'm unable to create v1.0.3 without a context diff. -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!orca!andrew) [UUCP] (orca!andrew.tektronix@csnet-relay) [ARPA]
