[net.games.hack] Polymorphed dogs

darrell@sdcsvax.UUCP (Darrell Long) (03/24/85)

I was playing a ``W'' and I polymorphed my little dog into a ``U''
as someone suggested.  The once dog, now Umber Hulk proceeded to
pound on me and kill me.  What goes on here?

   Your  new  "dog"  (the  Umber  Hulk)  or  any  other  polymorphed
monster  should  not  attack  you  unless  you  have  left  it  behind
a  level,   it's  hungry,   or  you  have  hit  it  one  too  many  times.


   In  your  case,   I  would  say  you  had  probably  hit  your  dog
(the  Umber  Hulk)  too  much,   he  got  tired  of  it,   and  kicked
your as*.   As  far  as  I  know,   that  is  about  the  only  way  you
could  have  had  your  situation  occur.
