Lots of things that are worse than a vanilla +0 animal skin exist. A vanilla animal skin is a notably uninteresting acquirement but not nearly as bad as many items that have generated via acquirement/troves.

True, true. It's just a really boring acquirement.

Worst Acquirement Ever

This is a scroll of acquirement! What kind of item would you like to acquire?
You pick up a steaming war axe. Wield which item? It sticks to your hands!
a - the cursed -5 war axe of Disaster (distort)
Really unwield the cursed -5 war axe of Disaster (distort)? (Y/N)
You are cast into the abyss! 35 ancient liches come into view. You hear a shout! (x35)

At least the axe of distortion was interesting.

How did you just unwield a cursed axe...?

How did you just unwield a cursed axe...?

It's pretty easy if you're not really attached to the skin on the insides of your hands.

fool, everyone knows cursed items apply a mental compulsion that makes you think you cant unwield them.
of course Turukano has incredible mental strenght.

From the days when item destruction meant you should read an acquire scroll immediately in most cases (especially in the Abyss, where there were 1 million smoke demons):

  Code:

abyss[9/9]: This is a scroll of acquirement!  What kind of item would you like to acquire?  Something appears at your feet!  You are suddenly pulled into a different region of the Abyss!
