If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Enemies that polymorph other enemies

Polymorph is a weird wand with a cool effect that the player almost never wants to use on their own.
Solution: make enemies that force players to deal with it by casting polymorph on nearby other enemies.

Re: Enemies that polymorph other enemies

Actually, polymorph is a great choice against a variety of low-HD high-threat enemies (e.g., boggarts, Sonja, Nessos) or shapeshifters who have landed on a particularly scary/annoying form (like a death drake).

Re: Enemies that polymorph other enemies

The only reason poly wand isn't amazing is that other hex wands exist (and all hex wands except slow are effectively an instant kill), it's really a quite powerful effect. But this probably does mean the player doesn't really want to use poly most of the time.

As for your original suggestion, http://s-z.org/neil/git/?p=crawl.git&a= ... s=polymoth
