I managed to polymorph my puppy into a cockatrice before deciding he was big enough. It was great. He would wander around by himself (does that mean that pet monsters that aren't dogs will not stay right on your heals?) and then as I made my way 'round I would find lots of little rock piles left by him turning other monsters into stone. Never did find out if he would hiss at me and stone me. I lost him when he got in the way of a sleep that I zapped at another monster. He wouldn't wake up.

I also had a pet cocatrice in one game. Polymorphed Spot, of course. I had the pleasure of following Spot into a zoo. I stood in the doorway while Spot sat just inside the door and created immense piles of rubble. It was great fun. I died in that game of other things (stupidity, mainly) and never got the chance to find out if cocatrices need to eat. They certainly can't eat their kills. Must you feed them tripe? The best pet is the Umber Hulk. This guy is REALLY aggressive. Not like the dragon, which just wanders around usually. Ron Christian (Watkins-Johnson Co.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much food so I died on level 21 of starvation. BTW, genocide scrolls don't protect you from polymorphing monsters into the one you chose to be removed. My pet U came in a game in which U's were genocided! Bill Stoll, ..!whuxlm!wws "The Incredible Hulk hits the troll -- the troll slowly regains his feet."
