lukey the intelligent ogre shapeshifter

[twelwe]

unique shifts between topor snail, manticore, flayed ghost, cactobles. can throw large rocks in any form because he is just a large one of whatever he turns into. also we can rename the unique to be female so that girls have a strong intelligent woman to look up to when playing crawl, and then kill her.

Erolcha is already female! She might need more large rocks, though.

changing into a cactus is cool, i like it

What we really need is an ogre whose intelligence shapeshifts.

[tasonir]

Ogre of Jiyva unique. Huge EV (10-15), 0 ac, high intelligence, wields a regular mace and can't equip giant clubs (too heavy due to low strength). Can turn you into a slime (similar to hog form, ends on a fairly short timer, can't use items and can only punch). Has lots of intelligent sounding speech. Can summon slimes (possibly not giant eyeballs due to randomness of paralysis).

How exactly does a snail - however exceptional of size - throw rocks, or anything else for that matter?

On the other hand I'm quite tickled by the idea of shapeshifting uniques...
