Summary 0004142: "Chaotic" has no place in monster status line.
Description "A slime creature (almost dead, retreating, mindless, chaotic)"

Chaotic ? What ?
Chaotic is not a status effect gained by monsters, unless perhaps polymorphed with a wand. It should go to monster description. This has bothered me for a long time, but I thought something this obvious would've already been reported.

Are player ghosts who died with mutations vulnerable to silver ?

 Obviously, slime creatures are not chaotic. I just wanted to get syntax right and copied text from the first creature I encountered.

 Would be good to have it displayed only if you're currently in targetting mode, fire silver ammo. Same for any relevant resist/vulnerability in targetting mode.

 By the same argument, shouldn't mindless also be removed from the status line? It doesn't change except through Yred's Enslave Soul, and is only truly relevant if you're attempting to pacify the monster or lead it through a harmful cloud. In the first case, you get a free message that pacification won't work and, in the second, you probably already know that the monster is stupid.

 "Same for any relevant resist/vulnerability in targetting mode." - a very good idea.
It could be integrated in the targeting mode interface, for example by coloring all resistant/vulnerable monsters' backgrounds (adding a symbol to tile in tiles version).
Mindless/chaotic would do perfectly fine in monster description, after all the resistances and whatnot.
As a side note - why are there no "It is immune to hellfire" or "It is immune to negative energy" descriptions? Demonic/undead/natural/etc. type is also hidden from non-spoiled player.

 It's been moved to the monster description (and shows up again if you're firing silver ammo).
