Ranged weapon

{{version019}}

'''Ranged weapons''' include all [[weapon]]s capable of attacking any target within your [[line of sight]]. All of these require ammo to function, and most of them require you to wield a launcher. The ability to attack distant foes is very helpful, particularly for characters with fast [[movement]] speed (see [[kiting]]). However, ranged weapons are not without their drawbacks. Running out of ammo renders a ranged weapon nearly useless, and [[melee weapon]]s tend to have better overall stats.

==Weapon attributes==
The following is a table of all ranged weapons in ''Crawl''. Below is a short explanation of each field:

{| class="wikitable"
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left;" | Name
| The name of the item as it appears in Crawl.
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left;" | Damage
| The base amount of damage the weapon does, before various bonuses and adjustments.
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left;" | Hit
| To hit modifier for the weapon, before any other adjustments.
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left;" | [[Weapon Speed|Speed]]
| This is actually the attack delay, which is multiplied by 10 to get the "percentages" you see in-game. (That is, attack delay 10 shows as 100%.) Every 2 levels of weapon skill lowers the delay by 1 unit. A weapon's minimum delay is half of its base delay (rounded down) or 7 (5 for [[cutlass]], 10 for [[hand crossbow]]s, [[arbalest]]s and [[triple crossbow]]s), whichever is lower. Speed brand and haste cut delay by one third (round randomly up or down). These effects stack, ''after'' the base cap, but there's an absolute cap of 2 for attack delay.
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left;" | Skill
| Which skill is required to effectively use this weapon.
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left;" | [[Handedness|One-handed min. size]]
| Minimum size required to be able to use the weapon with one hand. The order is little, small, medium, large, big.
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left;" | [[Handedness|Two-handed min. size]]
| Minimum size required to be able to use the weapon with two hands. When the player's size is equal or greater than 'Two-handed min. size', but less than 'One-handed min. size', the weapon cannot be used with a [[shield]].
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left; white-space: nowrap;" | Missile
| The sort of ammo needed to use this weapon
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left; white-space: nowrap;" | Dam Type
| What category of damage does the weapon deal?
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
!style="text-align: left;" | Prob
| A larger number indicates higher probability of acquiring through scrolls of [[acquirement]].
|}

==Throwing==
[[Throwing]] weapons can be further divided into two categories: thrown weapons and blowguns.

Thrown weapons are unique among ranged weapons in that they do not require you to wield anything to use them; you simply hurl them without needing a free hand (Don't ask). This means you don't have to waste time in combat swapping weapons, saving turns and reducing frustration, you can wear [[shield]]s, and you can save many [[scrolls of enchant weapon]].
*[[Stone]]
*[[Tomahawk]]
*[[Javelin]]
*[[Throwing net]]
*[[Large rock]] ([[troll]]s and [[ogre]]s only)

Blowguns are very unusual ranged weapons. In spite of the fact that they are affected by your Throwing skill, they require you to wield a blowgun and fire [[needle]]s at the enemy. These deal no damage, but inflict devastating [[status effect]]s.

{| class="wikitable"
! Name || Dam || Hit || Speed || Skill || One-handed min. size || Two-handed min. size || Missile || Dam Type || Prob || Notes
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
| [[Blowgun]] || 0 || +2 || 10 || Throwing || Little || Little || [[Needle]] || None || 0 || Deals no damage, but inflicts [[status effects]]
|}

==Slings==
[[Slings]] are ranged weapons which hurl [[sling bullet]]s (or [[stone]]s in a pinch) with great force. They are one-handed weapons for all but the [[spriggan|tiniest characters]] and require much less skill than most other weapons to reach min delay, but they are significantly less powerful than their slower, more cumbersome alternatives.

{| class="wikitable"
! Name || Dam || Hit || Speed || Skill || One-handed min. size || Two-handed min. size || Missile || Dam Type || Prob || Notes
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
| [[Hunting sling]] || 5 || +2 || 12 || Slings || Little || Little || [[Stone]] / [[Sling bullet]] || Non-melee || 10 ||
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
| [[Fustibalus]] || 8 || -1 || 14 || Slings || Small || Little || [[Stone]] / [[Sling bullet]] || Non-melee || 10 ||
|}

==Bows==
[[Bows]] are a moderate player's choice of ranged weapon, firing [[arrow]]s at your opponents to deadly effect. They are universally more powerful than slings, and require only a reasonable skill investment to fire quickly. However, both kinds of bow require two hands to wield.

{| class="wikitable"
! Name || Dam || Hit || Speed || Skill || One-handed min. size || Two-handed min. size || Missile || Dam Type || Prob || Notes
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
| [[Shortbow]] || 9 || +2 || 13 || Bows || - || Little || [[Arrow]] || Non-melee || 10 ||
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
| [[Longbow]] || 15 || 0 || 17 || Bows || - || Medium || [[Arrow]] || Non-melee || 10 ||
|}

==Crossbows==
If you want a ranged weapon that tears into foes with the strength of a melee weapon, consider getting into [[crossbows]]. These contraptions are the largest, slowest ranged weapons available, but they launch their [[bolt]]s with unparalleled force. Unfortunately, they require the most skill of all ranged weapons to attack quickly, particularly in the case of the super-heavy [[triple crossbow]]. With the exception of the tiny [[hand crossbow]], crossbows are two-handed weapons and benefit much more from high [[strength]] than from [[dexterity]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Name || Dam || Hit || Speed || Skill || One-handed min. size || Two-handed min. size || Missile || Dam Type || Prob || Notes
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
| [[Hand crossbow]] || 12 || +5 || 15 || Crossbows || Little || Little || [[Bolt]] || Non-melee || 10 ||
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
| [[Arbalest]] || 18 || +2 || 19 || Crossbows || - || Little || [[Bolt]] || Non-melee || 10 ||
|-style="vertical-align: top;"
| [[Triple crossbow]] || 22 || 0 || 23 || Crossbows || - || Small || [[Bolt]] || Non-melee || 2 ||
|}

==Brands==
Ranged weapons and their associated ammunition are capable of carrying a wide variety of [[brand]]s which can greatly increase your lethality when used correctly:

===Ranged Weapon Brands===
*[[Electrocution]] - Deals additional [[electricity]] damage
*[[Flame]] - Converts all damage to [[fire]], increases damage by 0-40%
*[[Frost]] - Converts all damage to [[cold]], increases damage by 0-40%
*[[Penetration]] - Projectiles can pierce through enemies, hitting everything along its trajectory
*[[Speed (brand)|Speed]] - Attacks take 66.6% normal time
*[[Venom]] - Poisons target
*[[Vorpal]] - Increases damage by 0-40%

===Ammunition Brands===
*[[Needle|Confusion]] - [[Confuse]]s target
*[[Curare]] - [[Poison]]s, [[slow]]s, and [[asphyxiate]]s target
*[[Dispersal]] - Forces target to [[blink]] randomly
*[[Exploding]] - Hits target and all adjacent tiles with a small unavoidable explosion
*[[Flame]] - Converts all damage to [[fire]], increases damage by 0-40%
*[[Frenzy]] - [[Berserk]]s target and temporarily turns it hostile to everything
*[[Frost]] - Converts all damage to [[cold]], increases damage by 0-40%
*[[Needle|Paralysis]] - [[Paralyse]]s target
*[[Penetration]] - Projectiles can pierce through enemies, hitting everything along its trajectory
*[[Poisoned]] - [[Poison]]s target
*[[Returning]] - Ammo may return to the attacker, with chance based on player skill or monster [[HD]]
*[[Silver]] - Deals massive damage to [[chaotic]] targets
*[[Needle|Sleep]] - Puts target back to sleep
*[[Needle|Slowing]] - [[Slow]]s target
*[[Steel]] - Increases damage by 30%, [[mulch]]es much less often

If both your launcher and your ammo have brands, the brand of the missile usually overrides that of the launcher. Exceptions include the vorpal and speed brands, which stack with any ammo, and the fire/cold damage brands, which cancel out each other when paired together.

==Retired Weapons==
Over the years, several weapons have been removed from the ''Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup'' arsenal.
*[[Bow]]
*[[Crossbow]]
*[[Dart]]
*[[Sling]]

==See also==
*[[Ranged Combat]]

==History==
*Prior to [[0.18]], each weapon had a strength weight percentage that determined how the weapon would benefit from your strength and dexterity.
*Prior to [[0.15]], ranged combat was significantly more complicated. Min delay was heavily influenced by your [[stats]], and there was a much smaller variety of weapons available.
*Prior to [[0.14]], [[dagger]]s, [[spear]]s, [[hand axe]]s, and [[club]]s could be thrown.

Stats

2018-05-03T20:37:34Z

Plantissue:

{{version021}}
Your character's basic '''stats''' are [[Strength]] (Str), [[Intelligence]] (Int) and [[Dexterity]] (Dex). These are determined by your [[species]] and [[background]] and grow as you gain [[experience]], equipment, [[intrinsic]] abilities, and [[mutations]]. They may be damaged by [[sickness]] or certain monster abilities, and if one of them reaches 0, you will suffer some [[Stat zero|penalties]].

The three defensive stats are your [[armour class]] (AC), your [[evasion]] (EV), and your blocking ability ([[SH]]).

Your character also has a limited reserve of [[hit points]] (HP) and [[magic points]] (Magic or MP).

==Starting Stats==
Your '''starting stats''' are determined by two things: your [[species]] and your [[class]]. While they do not by any means define your character, it is easier to build your character in a way that is compatible with your stats.

Each starting stat is equal to:

{{crawlquote|'''2 + Species Contribution + Class Contribution'''}}

===Species Contributions===
Not all species are created equal; some have higher total stats than others, with [[Demigod]]s having the highest, and [[Ghoul]]s having the lowest. The "gain" column describes how the race automatically gains stats as they level up: a letter indicates the stat beginning with that letter can be chosen, and the number before the colon indicates the frequency of stat gains. So a Human, who would gain one Str, Int, or Dex every 4 levels, is represented by 4:SID. See [[#Gaining Attributes|Gaining Attributes]] below for further details.

*Demigods do not gain stats randomly. See [[#Gaining Attributes|Gaining Attributes]].

===Class Contribution===
Your class also contributes to your starting stats, although to a lesser degree than your species. Unlike with species, the sum of the starting stats is the same across all classes (12).

<nowiki>*</nowiki>A wanderer's starting stats are random, but will also total 12. However, if a stat is greater than 17, it is 50% less likely to be increased.

Your initial strength, intelligence and dexterity cannot be less than 3. In any case where a class/species combo causes a value to be less than three, it is increased and random other stat decreased until it reaches 3.

72 is the absolute maximum value for strength, dexterity, and intelligence. These ability scores can never go above 72, regardless of racial bonuses, equipment, mutations, or any other bonuses.

==Gaining Attributes==
Characters will increase attributes naturally as they level, with their race determining which attributes they gain and how often they gain them. Additionally, they get to increase an attribute of their choice every three levels. Demigods gain two stat points from this instead of one, but they do not gain any stats randomly from leveling.

*[[Barachi]]m - A random stat every 4 levels.
*[[Centaur]]s - Str or Dex every 4 levels.
*[[Deep Dwarves]] - Str or Int every 4 levels.
*[[Deep Elves]] - Int every 4 levels.
*[[Demigod]]s - ''Special, see above''
*[[Demonspawn]] - A random stat every 4 levels.
*[[Draconian]]s - A random stat every 4 levels.
*[[Formicid]]s - Str or Int every 4 levels.
*[[Felid]]s - Dex or Int every 5 levels.
*[[Gargoyle]]s - Str or Int every 4 levels.
*[[Ghoul]]s - Str every 5 levels.
*[[Gnoll]]s - A random stat every 4 levels.
*[[Halfling]]s - Dex every 5 levels.
*[[Hill Orc]]s - Str every 5 levels.
*[[Human]]s - A random stat every 4 levels.
*[[Kobold]]s - A random stat every 5 levels.
*[[Merfolk]] - A random stat every 5 levels.
*[[Minotaur]]s - Str or Dex every 4 levels.
*[[Mummy|Mummies]] - A random stat every 5 levels
*[[Naga]]s - A random stat every 4 levels.
*[[Octopode]]s - A random stat every 5 levels.
*[[Ogre]]s - Str every 3 levels.
*[[Spriggan]]s - Dex or Int every 5 levels.
*[[Tengu]] - A random stat every 4 levels.
*[[Troll]]s - Str every 3 levels.
*[[Vampire]]s - Dex or Int every 5 levels
*[[Vine Stalker]]s - Str or Dex every 4 levels.

==History==
The extra 2 that all characters get to all their stats is a holdover from when stats were randomized: previously there were eight stat points that would be allocated randomly, with a slight tendency to raise lower stats in preference to higher ones; the remaining two were added to the class stat points, which used to total 10 instead of 12.

Additionally, Wanderers' stats used to total only 6, making the class considerably more difficult. Artificers' totaled 9, although that difference was less significant. As for species, numerous small changes have been made over the years, but one of the more significant ones is to Mummies: they have gone from having some of the worst starting stats (7/3/3, or 13 total) to being among the higher-stat races (though still extremely difficult to play).

Kobold

2018-05-03T20:36:48Z

Plantissue:

{{version|021}}
{{for monster}}
{{flavour|Kobolds are small, ugly creatures with few redeeming features. They are not the sort of people you would want to spend much time with, unless you happened to be a Kobold yourself.

They tend to be more agile and weaker than Halflings, and are slightly more talented at using most types of magic, particularly necromancy. They are competent in combat, especially with short blades, maces or crossbows, and are also very adept at using magical devices. They often live as scavengers, surviving on carrion (which they can eat even when not hungry), but are carnivorous and can only eat meat. Kobolds advance in levels as quickly as Humans. Like Halflings, Kobolds cannot wield large weapons.}}

==Innate Abilities==
*[[Carnivorous]]: Kobolds gain more sustenance from meat chunks and can eat [[chunk]]s until engorged.
*Kobolds are [[Size#Player Sizes|small]] creatures, unable to wield [[large shield]]s, [[bardiche]]s, [[battleaxe]]s, [[dire flail]]s, [[executioner's axe]]s, [[glaive]]s, [[great mace]]s, [[great sword]]s, [[halberd]]s, [[longbow]]s, [[scythe]]s, [[triple sword]]s, [[giant club]]s, [[giant spiked club]]s, and [[javelin]]s. One-handed weapons like [[magical staves]], [[broad axe]]s, [[trident]]s, [[demon trident]]s and [[double sword]]s are two-handed weapons to them.

Kobolds have a base [[Strength]] of 5, [[Intelligence]] of 9 and [[Dexterity]] of 10 (before Background modifiers).

==Preferred Backgrounds==
*'''Warriors:''' [[Hunter]]
*'''Zealots:''' [[Berserker]]
*'''Warrior-mages:''' [[Arcane Marksman]], [[Enchanter]]
*'''Mages:''' [[Conjurer]], [[Summoner]]

==Level Bonuses==
*+1 to a random [[stat]] every 5th level.
*20% less [[HP]] than average.
*Average [[MP]].
*+3 [[magic resistance]] per level.

==Starting Skills and Equipment==
Kobolds receive the skills and equipment listed for their background, with the following exceptions:
* [[Javelin]]s are replaced with [[tomahawk]]s.

==Difficulty of Play==
{{Moderate}}

Kobolds are a straightforward race to play because of their excellent aptitudes in many skills and their size bonus to EV. They have good magic aptitudes overall and advance quickly in experience, and they can eat meat chunks at any time, not just when hungry. This makes eating less of a hassle, which is usually just a convenience, although it can be leveraged to strong effect with certain abilities, such as repeatable [[berserk]]ing, as offered by [[Trog]] or via an evocable source of berserk (e.g., [[amulet of rage]]). Their excellent aptitude for [[evocations]] makes them good [[artificer|artificers]].

{{species_aptitudes|Kobold}}

==Trivia==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobold Kobolds] were originally creatures from Germanic mythology, but they are well known to gamers due to appearing as low-level monsters in ''Dungeons & Dragons'' and as creatures in ''Nethack''.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.21]] and the merging of [[ration]]s, the carnivorous mutation had three levels.
*Kobolds' aptitudes were rebalanced in [[0.19]]. Prior to this change: [[Axes]] was -1, [[Maces & Flails]] was 0, [[Throwing]] was +3, [[Slings]] was +2, [[Bows]] was -1, [[Spellcasting]] was -1, [[Conjurations]] was -1, and [[Transmutations]] was -1, and [[Evocations]] was +3. Kobold base stats were also changed.
*Prior to [[0.15]], kobolds had 2 ranks of [[Saprovore]] and would recover from [[sickness]] faster than normal.

Made in addition weapons invincible; she spawned monster-serpents,
Sharp of tooth, and merciless of fang;
With poison, instead of blood, she filled their bodies.
Fierce monster-vipers she clothed with terror,
With splendor she decked them, she made them of lofty stature.
Whoever beheld them, terror overcame him,
Their bodies reared up and none could withstand their attack.”

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.”

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.’”

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.”

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.

It ruptured the ribcage, and stuck quivering in the bone. The centaur pulled out the shaft minus its head (he tried with difficulty to reach that also) but the head was caught in his lung. 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.”

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.”

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.’”
-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.”

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.”

With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,

“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.”

“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.”

The pain itself strengthened his will: wounded, he reared up at his enemy and beat the hero down with his hooves.

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.’”

“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.”

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.”

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.”

Made in addition weapons invincible; she spawned monster-serpents,
Sharp of tooth, and merciless of fang;
With poison, instead of blood, she filled their bodies.
Fierce monster-vipers she clothed with terror,
With splendor she decked them, she made them of lofty stature.
Whoever beheld them, terror overcame him,
Their bodies reared up and none could withstand their attack.”

“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.”

His servants killed the snakes, but Melampus gathered wood and burnt the reptiles, and reared the young ones.

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 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.”

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

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.

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.”

Quote = [=[“He fixed his eyes upon the door, which, slowly opening, disclosed a stranger of majestic form, but scowling features, who demanded sternly, why he was summoned? ‘I did not summon you,’ said the trembling student. ‘You did!’ said the stranger, advancing, angrily; ‘and the demons are not to be invoked in vain.’ The student could make no reply; and the demon, enraged that one of the uninitiated should have summoned him out of mere presumption, seized him by the throat and strangled him.

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.”
