Twister

2018-08-23T23:41:38Z

Alchon: updated to v0.22

{{version022}}
{{list of | vortices}}
{{monster info}}

==Useful Info==
'''Twisters''' generally only occur as the temporary result of powerful [[Air Magic]] [[miscast effect]]s, though some can be found outside the walls of the [[Cloud Mages' Chambers]]. They are permanently confused creatures which cannot attack but generate a [[Tornado]] around themselves at all times, which can do significant amounts of damage to anything caught in it.

Twisters are resistant to the spell [[Tornado]].

==Tips & Tricks==
*Twisters have insane amounts of health and are resistant to all forms of magic. On top of that, they're worth no experience. Just keep your distance from them and they'll eventually go away.

==History==
Prior to [[0.22]], Twisters had wind resistance instead of tornado resistance.

Ball lightning

2018-08-23T23:39:46Z

Alchon: implemented 0.22 changes

{{version017}}
{{monster info}}

==Useful Info==
'''Ball lightning''' is a weather phenomenon normally unheard of in subterranean [[Dungeon]]s. It is attracted to the enemies of its conjurer and explodes on contact, dealing 3d20 [[electricity]] damage to everything within a few tiles. It also occasionally shoot blasts of lightning at random targets. Ball lightning only naturally occurs in a few [[vault]]s, but can be created through use of the [[Conjure Ball Lightning]] spell (which only you, [[Lom Lobon]], and some [[player ghost]]s can cast).

Ball lightning is resistant to the spell [[Tornado]].

==Tips & Tricks==
*Electricity resistance renders it a whole lot less terrifying.
*Although it's nearly impossible to outrun, you can safely detonate ball lightning from a distance by inflicting at least 1 point of damage. it is immune to all forms of elemental damage but any character can throw a [[stone]] or zap a [[wand of magic darts]].
*Ball lightning is [[Conjurations|conjured]] into existence, not [[Summonings|summoned]], so neither [[Abjuration]] nor [[Recall]] has an effect on it.

==History==
Prior to [[0.22]], they had wind resistance instead of tornado resistance

Prior to [[0.14]], they were permanently confused and would move erratically.

Air elemental

2018-08-23T23:37:47Z

Alchon: updated to v0.22

{{version022}}
{{list of|elementals}}
{{monster info}}

==Useful Info==
'''Air elementals''' are animated beings of wind. Fast and [[ev]]asive, they are capable of dealing moderate physical damage and can create weak [[tornado]]s around them, throwing you into the air and about the room and dealing extra damage to [[flying]] characters.

Monsters can summon them using the [[Summon Air Elementals]] spell, and sometimes they will be found following [[spriggan air mage]]s. Otherwise, you typically only find them in [[the Abyss]], the [[Cloud Mages' Chambers]], and certain [[vault]]s.

You can also summon them yourself by evoking a [[deck of destruction]] and drawing the [[Storm card]] or invoking [[Qazlal]]'s Elemental Force when storm clouds or clouds of smoke are visible.

Air elementals are resistant to the spell [[Tornado]]

==Monster Spells==
{{Spellcaster1
|number=
|slot1=[[Vortex]]
|flags1={{Natural slot flag}}
}}
{{clear}}
==Tips & Tricks==
*Air elementals are immune to all Air Magic. As such, even though [[Airstrike]] and [[Tornado]] seem perfectly suited for taking down hard-to-hit flying enemies, these just won't work.
*If using Qazlal's Elemental Force, the friendliness of the elemental will depend on the source of the cloud: Your clouds are friendly, ambient clouds are neutral, enemy clouds are hostile.
*It's better if you engage them on the ground rather than in the air; much like [[Tornado]], their [[Vortex]] ability deals more damage if you are in [[flight]].
*Try to fight them in a corridor or enclosed space. [[Vortex]] is much less effective in small spaces.

==History==
Prior to [[0.22]], air elementals had wind resistance instead of tornado resistance.

Prior to [[0.21]], air elementals did not have [[Vortex]].

Prior to [[0.17]], air elementals could dissipate, effectively [[submerging]] themselves in air, only to reform a few turns later.

Sojobo

2018-08-23T23:34:42Z

Alchon: Formatting

{{version|022}}
{{list of | tengu}}
{{monster info}}

==Useful Info==
'''Sojobo, Queen of Tengu''' is a [[unique]] [[list of tengu|tengu]] air elementalist who is always generated with a band of [[tengu reaver]]s. She's fairly durable, and even hitting her can be a challenge as she has significant [[ev]]asion and an innate [[Deflect Missiles]] effect at all times. She carries a [[great sword]] (83%) or [[triple sword]] (17%) which has the [[electrocution]] brand 66% of the time.

Sojobo is resistant to the spell [[Tornado]].

==Location==
*[[The Depths]]
*[[The Vaults]]:2-5
*[[The Crypt]]
*[[The Tomb]]

{{monster spells}}

==Tips & Tricks==
*Sojobo is a nasty opponent. Tengu reavers are nasty enemies. As such, taking on Sojobo ''and'' her band of reavers all at once is extremely reckless. Try to lure her allies away one by one, and only engage Sojobo when she's all alone. [[Swiftness]] or a [[potion of haste]] certainly help in getting away, as these tengu are all slightly faster than the average character.
*Sojobo can deal dangerous amounts of damage quickly to the unprepared. [[Electricity]] resistance is very strongly recommended, as getting hit by a [[Lightning Bolt]] [[multizap]] can easily bring you to the brink of death, and there's no sense in tacking an additional 20 or so electricity damage on top of her already significant melee attacks. Likewise, [[flying]] characters should probably stay earthbound for this fight, as her [[Airstrike]] hits extra hard against the airborne.
*It doesn't matter how supernaturally nimble an opponent is if your attacks can't miss. She's got no elemental resistances, so the unavoidable spells of any magic school should work just fine. Her [[magic resistance]] is high enough to be a problem for [[Hexes]] though.
*When Sojobo is among her horde, do not attempt to [[stair dancing|stair dance]] nor rely on stairs as your primary mode of escape; at any time you can be forced off the stairs by her Wind Blast spell.

==History==
In [[0.22]], wind resistance was replaced with Tornado resistance.

In [[0.13]],Sojobo was added.

Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,

The pain itself strengthened his will: wounded, he reared up at his enemy and beat the hero down with his hooves. Peleus received the resounding blows on helmet and shield, and defending his upper arms, and controlling the weapon he held out, with one blow through the arm he pierced the bi-formed breast.”

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

When he grew up he dwelt in a big burrow in the river bank with a following of many hundreds of other iguanas. Now the Bodhisatta had a son, a young iguana, who was great friends with a chameleon, whom he used to clip and embrace. This intimacy being reported to the iguana king, he sent for his young son and said that such friendship was misplaced, for chameleons were low creatures, and that if the intimacy was persisted in, calamity would befall the whole of the tribe of iguanas. And he enjoined his son to have no more to do with the chameleon. But the son continued in his intimacy.”

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

But whatever malign emotions we tried to pin on to the lizard, we knew that they weren't the lizard's emotions at all, only ours. The lizard was simply going about its lizardly business in a simple, straightforward lizardly way. It didn't know anything about the horror, the guilt, the shame, the ugliness that we, uniquely guilty and ashamed animals, were trying to foist on it.

Pontoppidan writes, lasts no longer than three months, and another three are then needed to digest it. His excrements nurture in the following an army of lesser fish, and for this reason, fishermen plumb after his resting place ... Gradually, Kraken ascends to the surface, and when he is at ten to twelve fathoms, the boats had better move out of his vicinity, as he will shortly thereafter burst up, like a floating island, spurting water from his dreadful nostrils and making ring waves around him, which can reach many miles.

But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon. I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,

He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon. I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Verily at the time I shall kill the daughter of the chief will be when the light of day is breaking, and at the same instant the sky will glow with red in the direction whence the morrow comes. ‘Ho, there, our comrade has killed her!’ will thus be the thought in your hearts. Then is the time when you want to make a great noise, when you shall whoop all keep it up. Now is the time that you go to attack this village.“ Thus he spoke to those his young men.

invincible, and with good reason, since the part of it which was subdued sent

His servants killed the snakes, but Melampus gathered wood and burnt the reptiles, and reared the young ones. And when the young were full grown, they stood beside him at each of his shoulders as he slept, and they purged his ears with their tongues. He started up in a great fright, but understood the voices of the birds flying overhead, and from what he learned from them he foretold to men what should come to pass.”

Resistance

Alchon: added tornado as minor resistance

{{version|018}}
''For the ego found on robes and shields, see [[resistance (ego)]].''

Monsters and players may have '''resistances''' against various types of damage; these are a subcategory of [[intrinsic]]s.

==Types of resistance==
There are five "major" resistances. These are commonly granted by items, spells, or species-specific or random [[mutation]]s:

* [[Fire]] resistance
* [[Cold]] resistance
* [[Negative energy]] resistance (aka life protection), which is resistance against [[draining]] attacks, [[Necromancy|necromantic magic]], etc.
* [[Electricity]] resistance
* [[Poison]] resistance

The degrees to which characters may have resistance to these elements vary from resistance to resistance:

* Fire/cold resistance: can vary from rF/rC--- to rF/rC+++. Having any level of vulnerability increases damage done by 50% from missile attacks and 100% from melee attacks and clouds, but a character with rF--- will take no more damage from fire attacks than a character with rF-. All player sources of resistance/vulnerability stack.
* Negative energy resistance: can vary from none to rN+++. All sources stack, and rN+++ provides complete immunity. Vulnerability does not exist.
* Electricity resistance: Player can only have one level, rElec, which provides 66% damage reduction. Vulnerability does not exist, and sources do not stack.
* Poison: The player can have four levels: rPois-, none, rPois, or rPois+++. Vulnerability is obtained by being in [[Spider Form]] or from randarts with rP-, while immunity (rPois+++) is obtained by being undead or a [[Gargoyle]], including being in [[Lichform]] or [[Statue Form]]. Sources of rPois do not generally stack. The one exception to this is that poison vulnerability and poison resistance will cancel each other out to leave a character with no resistance.

==Damage reduction==
Monsters and players with resistance will take less damage (or no damage) from a resisted attack. Some attacks are only partly resisted – for instance, only 45% of the damage from [[Fire Storm]] will have resistance (or vulnerability) applied to it.

Resistance is more effective vs. [[Sticky Flame]], [[electrical]] attacks, and [[miasma]].

The damage reduction for players is:
{| class="wikitable"
! Player Resistance level !! Damage taken !! Dam. vs. sticky/elec./mias.
|-
| 1 || 50% || 33%
|-
| 2 || 33% || 25%
|-
| 3 || 20% || 17%
|}

Note that players can only ever gain one level of electricity resistance. Monsters, however, can have more than one.

Monsters' resistance is more effective:
{| class="wikitable"
! Monster Resistance level !! Damage taken !! Dam. vs. sticky/elec./mias.
|-
| 1 || 50% || 33%
|-
| 2 || 20% || 17%
|-
| 3 || 0% || 0%
|}

It is also possible for the player to be vulnerable (i.e., to have negative resistance) to fire, cold, or poison. Monsters can be vulnerable to fire, cold, poison, and electricity, and [[evil]] creatures (including the player, if [[undead]], [[demonspawn]], or in [[lichform]]) are vulnerable to [[cleansing flame]]. Vulnerability (of any degree) causes a creature to take 150% normal damage from missiles and 200% damage from all other attacks.

Life protection is handled differently: each level reduces damage taken by a third, meaning level 3 provides total immunity to draining and necromancy. [[Torment]] is also resisted by life protection, using yet another formula.

==Gaining Resistances==
*Quaffing a [[potion of resistance]] will give you one level of fire, cold, electricity, corrosion and poison resistance for a while.
*Various [[dragon (monster)|dragon]] hides or armours, as well as other [[ego]] armour, will provide various major or minor resistances if worn.
*Most resistances (not electricity) can be gained by wearing particular (standard) items of [[jewellery]].
*[[Artifact]]s may provide one or more resistances, including electricity resistance and some of the "minor resistances" below.
*All major resistances can be gained through a corresponding [[mutation]] (although only [[demonspawn]] can gain the life protection mutation).
*Some [[species]] have racial resistances or vulnerabilities. Notably, all the playable undead races have at least [[Cold resistance|Cold Resistance 1]], [[Life Protection 3]], [[Poison Resistance]], and [[Torment|Immunity To Torment]].
*Many spells in the [[Transmutations]] school provide assorted resistances along with their other, more dramatic effects.

==Minor Resistances==
There are also a few "minor" resistances which come from specific items or species characteristics.
*[[Acid]] resistance protects you from acid damage, but not from the corrosion effect (although most sources also provide rCorr). It can come from a [[ring of resist corrosion]] or [[randart]], the [[Draconian#Colors|Yellow Scales]] mutation (gained by yellow [[draconian]]s), or the unrand [[Maxwell's patent armour]].
*[[Corrosion]] resistance can be gained from a [[ring of resist corrosion]], a randart, or Maxwell's Patent Armour. Corrosion resistance gives you a 50% chance to resist each instance of corrosion, although it can still stack multiple times.
*[[Steam]] resistance from [[steam dragon armour]]. Fire resistance will also grant some resistance to steam.
**Similarly, [[mottled dragon armour]] (and the artifact [[faerie dragon armour]]) grants resistance to [[Sticky Flame|sticky flame]].
*[[Rot]] resistance comes from being undead, including being in [[lichform]]. It does not protect [[ghoul]]s against their own random rotting, and all undead will still rot instead of mutating. Characters in [[Statue Form]] and [[demonspawn]] with the [[Foul Stench]] mutation also receive rot resistance. Rot resistance also confers resistance to [[sickness]] and immunity to [[miasma]].
*[[Torment]] resistance will reduce damage from monsters casting [[Symbol of Torment]] or when using a [[scroll of torment]].
*[[Mutation]] resistance comes from the [[amulet of resist mutation|amulet of that name]] (or artifacts), prior mutations, or high piety with [[Zin]]. From the amulet (its most common source), it is only 90% reliable. While undead will always rot instead of mutating, mutation resistance will block that rotting with the same frequency it would block mutation for a living character.
*A few other intrinsics act like specialized resistances: [[clarity]] (confusion, frenzy, amnesia), [[sustain attributes]] (stat loss), [[amulet of stasis|stasis]] (slow, teleport, paralysis, ''etc.'')
*Although some monsters are resistant to [[silence]], [[hellfire]], and [[tornado]], these are not available for players.

==History==
*In [[0.18]], the amulets of [[Amulet of resist mutation|resist mutation]], [[Amulet of stasis|stasis]], and [[Amulet of clarity|clarity]] were removed and the [[Amulet of resist corrosion|amulet of resist corrosion]] became a ring. Additionally, mutation resistance from now on only provides a 66% chance to avoid mutations.
*Prior to [[0.17]], [[sustain attributes]] was named "sustain abilities", and [[corrosion]] reduced slaying and AC by 3 and 5 respectively instead of giving -4 to both.
*Prior to [[0.15]], wearing a [[cloak of preservation]] was the usual choice to prevent item destruction. The concepts of item destruction and permanent corrosion effects retired at the same time. Prior to 0.15, corrosion instead caused permanent damage to weapons and armor, reducing their enchantment values, possibly into the negatives. Also, potions of resistance did not grant rAcid or rCorr.
*[[Racial equipment]] variants were removed in [[0.14]], so is gone corrosion resistance of anything of dwarven make.
*Elemental ([[Fire#Fire Resistance|Fire]], [[Cold#Cold Resistance|Cold]], and [[Electricity#Electricity Resistance|Electricity]]) resistances for players were [[nerf]]ed in [[0.6]].
*[[Poison#Poison Resistance|Poison resistance]] for living characters was nerfed to provide only 90% protection against poisonous melee attacks in [[0.10]].

Water elemental

2018-08-17T18:21:15Z

Alchon: Updated change in engulf

{{version022}}
{{monster info}}

==Useful Info==
'''Water elementals''' are animate blobs of water, surging toward their foes and drowning the unwary. They are immune to [[electricity]] and [[poison]], and their melee attacks occasionally '''engulf''' their victims.

Being engulfed is similar to being under the effects of [[silence]]: it prevents creatures from casting spells, reading scrolls, and using [[god]]-given abilities. In addition, it deals moderate [[asphyxiation]] damage each turn. Moving away from the engulfer is enough to break free. [[Unbreathing]] creatures (including player species such as the [[undead]], [[gargoyle]]s, or grey [[draconian]]s), and creatures that are naturally aquatic (including player [[merfolk]], [[octopode]]s, and [[barachim]]) are immune to all effects.

Water elementals can be found throughout [[the Shoals]] and [[Cocytus]] and in some water-based vaults in [[the Dungeon]] and [[the Depths]]. They can also be summoned by monsters through the [[Summon Water Elementals]] spell. Players may summon them yourself by evoking a [[phial of floods]] or invoking [[Qazlal]]'s Elemental Force when clouds of cold or rain are visible.

==Tips & Tricks==
*Avoid simply [[tab]]bing your way through combat with water elementals. Once they've engulfed you, you'll start taking irresistible damage each turn, but moving away from them breaks this effect. If possible, retreat each time they start the process.
**Players of [[unbreathing]] or aquatic races are immune to the engulf damage and can still cast spells normally, making water elementals much less dangerous.
*Their [[electricity]] resistance makes it difficult for [[Air Magic]]-users to take them out, though [[Airstrike]] is a perfectly acceptable method for defeating them.
*Keep in mind that they move much faster when in water.
*Water elementals are weak to [[Fire Magic]] or other sources of fire damage. Casting fire spells at a water elemental that is currently standing in water is particularly effective, as the [[steam]] this generates will do even more damage.
*If using Qazlal's Elemental Force, the friendliness of the elemental will depend on the source of the cloud: Your clouds are friendly, ambient clouds are neutral, enemy clouds are hostile.

==History==
*In [[0.22]], the Engulf status will no longer slow movement, but will block [[god]]-given abilities.
*Prior to [[0.13]], water elementals had normal melee attacks.

-John Ray, _A Compleat Collection of English Proverbs_. 1768.

“A BOGGART intruded himself, upon what pretext or by what authority is unknown, into the house of a quiet, inoffensive, and laborious farmer; and, when once it had taken possession it disputed the right of domicile with the legal mortal tenant, in a very unneighbourly and arbitrary manner. In particular, it seemed to have a great aversion to children. As there is no point on which a parent feels more acutely than that of the maltreatment of his offspring, the feelings of the father and more particularly of his good dame, were daily, ay, and nightly, harrowed up by the malice of this malignant and invisible boggart.”

I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

And those blind men, O Bhikkhus, who had felt the head of the elephant, said: ‘An elephant, Sir, is like a large round jar.
Those who had felt its ears, said: 'it is like a winnowing basket.’
Those who had felt its tusks, said: ‘it is like a plough-share.’
Those who had felt its trunk, said: ‘it is like a plough.’
Those who had felt its body, said: ‘it is like a granary.’
Those who had felt its feet, said: ‘it is like a pillar.’
Those who had felt its back, said: ‘it is like a mortar.’
Those who had felt its tail, said: ‘it is a like a pestle.’
Those who had felt the tuft of its tail, said: ‘it is like a broom.’
And they all fought amongst themselves with their fists, declaring, ‘such is an elephant, such is not elephant, an elephant is not like that, it is like this.’”
And the King, O Bhikkhus, was highly delighted.

Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,

I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Now the Bodhisatta had a son, a young iguana, who was great friends with a chameleon, whom he used to clip and embrace. This intimacy being reported to the iguana king, he sent for his young son and said that such friendship was misplaced, for chameleons were low creatures, and that if the intimacy was persisted in, calamity would befall the whole of the tribe of iguanas. And he enjoined his son to have no more to do with the chameleon. But the son continued in his intimacy.”

Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

“On the other hand, Confucius is made to say to his disciples, ‘I know how birds can fly, how fishes can swim, and how animals can run. But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon. I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Verily at the time I shall kill the daughter of the chief will be when the light of day is breaking, and at the same instant the sky will glow with red in the direction whence the morrow comes. ‘Ho, there, our comrade has killed her!’ will thus be the thought in your hearts. Then is the time when you want to make a great noise, when you shall whoop all keep it up. Now is the time that you go to attack this village.“ Thus he spoke to those his young men.

invincible, and with good reason, since the part of it which was subdued sent

When Agrippa returned, a few days afterwards, he found his house beset with devils. Some of them were sitting on the chimneypots, kicking up their legs in the air; while others were playing at leapfrog, on the very edge of the parapet. His study was so filled with them that he found it difficult to make his way to his desk.”

“A BOGGART intruded himself, upon what pretext or by what authority is unknown, into the house of a quiet, inoffensive, and laborious farmer; and, when once it had taken possession it disputed the right of domicile with the legal mortal tenant, in a very unneighbourly and arbitrary manner. In particular, it seemed to have a great aversion to children. As there is no point on which a parent feels more acutely than that of the maltreatment of his offspring, the feelings of the father and more particularly of his good dame, were daily, ay, and nightly, harrowed up by the malice of this malignant and invisible boggart.”

I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,

He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

-Philip Larkin, “To Failure”. 1949.

“On the other hand, Confucius is made to say to his disciples, ‘I know how birds can fly, how fishes can swim, and how animals can run. But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon. I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,

-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

When he grew up he dwelt in a big burrow in the river bank with a following of many hundreds of other iguanas. Now the Bodhisatta had a son, a young iguana, who was great friends with a chameleon, whom he used to clip and embrace. This intimacy being reported to the iguana king, he sent for his young son and said that such friendship was misplaced, for chameleons were low creatures, and that if the intimacy was persisted in, calamity would befall the whole of the tribe of iguanas. And he enjoined his son to have no more to do with the chameleon. But the son continued in his intimacy.”

His excrements nurture in the following an army of lesser fish, and for this reason, fishermen plumb after his resting place ...

His servants killed the snakes, but Melampus gathered wood and burnt the reptiles, and reared the young ones. And when the young were full grown, they stood beside him at each of his shoulders as he slept, and they purged his ears with their tongues. He started up in a great fright, but understood the voices of the birds flying overhead, and from what he learned from them he foretold to men what should come to pass.”

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,

“On the other hand, Confucius is made to say to his disciples, ‘I know how birds can fly, how fishes can swim, and how animals can run. But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon. I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Verily at the time I shall kill the daughter of the chief will be when the light of day is breaking, and at the same instant the sky will glow with red in the direction whence the morrow comes. ‘Ho, there, our comrade has killed her!’ will thus be the thought in your hearts. Then is the time when you want to make a great noise, when you shall whoop all keep it up. Now is the time that you go to attack this village.“ Thus he spoke to those his young men.

When Agrippa returned, a few days afterwards, he found his house beset with devils. Some of them were sitting on the chimneypots, kicking up their legs in the air; while others were playing at leapfrog, on the very edge of the parapet. His study was so filled with them that he found it difficult to make his way to his desk.”

The zombie, they say, is a soulless human corpse, still dead, but taken from the grave and endowed by sorcery with a mechanical semblance of life—it is a dead body which is made to walk and act and move as if it were alive. People who have the power to do this go to a fresh grave, dig up the body before it has had time to rot, galvanize it into movement, and then make of it a servant or slave, occasionally for the commission of some crime, more often simply as a drudge around the habitation or the farm, setting it dull heavy tasks, and beating it like a dumb beast if it slackens.”
