Same for lich and statue forms.

I recently played a multi-Zig felich -- who happened to be my first non-debug game where I actually used Necromutation, and I dreaded how it would look in tiles: a kitty turning into a cloaked human. This may cause confusion and bug reports, too, as tiles players may assume they turn into a human skeleton rather than a skeletal cat/centaur/naga, and thus can use gear they can't in their natural form.

Oooh, good point. How _would_ a lich kitty look? We do have skeletal centaur/naga tiles - but using those is likely to be confusing. Maybe with some dark glow around?

For centaur and naga Necromutations, how about using these tiles? For felids, since they don't wear anything, they could just use the small quadrupled tile with a shadowly glow or a hood and cloak or something.

(Note that I didn't make these from scratch - I merely spliced the default Necromutation tile with the skeletal centaur/naga tiles.)

For felids, it might be a skeleton cat with red eyes -- or perhaps, something like this: http://www.funz.eu/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Skeleton-Cat.jpg [^]

Overlaying the skeleton tiles with the lich one - nice. :)

Thanks, psyshvl! I didn't precisely apply your tiles, but I retraced your steps, merged my versions with yours and modified the results. Hope that's okay with you. :)

Resolved because Fe/Ce/Na have had special tiles for lich form/statue form/player ghosts for a while now.
