−	'''Chunks''' are edible pieces of meat, carved from freshly slain [[corpse]]s using the butcher ('''c''') command. The number of chunks a corpse provides is somewhat random, but larger monsters generally provide more chunks. Most [[species]] can eat chunks only when [[hungry]], though carnivorous species can eat more often and some species cannot eat meat at all ([[spriggan]]s, which are completely herbivorous, [[vampire]]s, which subsist solely on blood, and [[mummy\|mummies]], which are completely incapable of eating).
−
−	You will most commonly encounter "clean" meat, which has no ill effects. Some creatures will instead produce [[poison]]ous, [[rot]]-inducing, or mutagenic chunks of meat. Regardless of type, chunks of meat will eventually rot away completely.

−	*Chunks are the main food source of most characters. Ghastly as it may be, taking advantage of them will allow you to stretch out your [[Comestibles_and_Satiation#~~Permafood\|permafood]] and avoid starvation more easily.~~
−	*The [[Carnivore]] mutation or wearing an [[amulet of the gourmand]] will allow you to eat chunks even when not hungry and gain more nutrition from them. Note that ghouls, [[felid]]s, and kobolds are all carnivorous, making these species easier for players who are having trouble keeping other species well-fed. Trolls, meanwhile, start with the gourmand trait as an intrinsic. Spriggans, being herbivorous, gain no benefit from the amulet.
−	*Remember that eating chunks from your own species is [[cannibalism]], which is forbidden by certain gods. [[Zin]] forbids eating highly intelligent creatures (i.e. humanoids, player races, etc.) altogether.
−	*If your current weapon isn't sharp, the "cut" command will assume you pull out an emergency knife for the duration of the butchery.
−	**Certain spells and effects can directly generate chunks without wasting turns butchering. Most useful is [[Animate Skeleton]], which is very easy to cast and leaves chunks from any zombifiable monster with a skeleton, i.e. most living, corpse-leaving monsters other than [[list of arthropods\|insects]]. Other effects that can leave chunks include the beam from a [[wand of disintegration]], the high-level [[Conjurations]] spell [[Orb of Destruction]], and the aftereffects of [[Inner Flame]].

 *Contaminated chunks provide less nutrition to those who can't handle it. Species with levels in [[Saprovore]] ([[troll]]s, [[ogre]]s, [[hill orc]]s, [[kobold]]s, [[ghoul]]s) are granted additional nutrition for contaminated chunks. Saprovore also enables the consumption of rotting chunks.

-Prior to [[0.9]], characters did not have an emergency knife for butchering corpses and were required to carry an edged weapon for that purpose.
+Prior to [[0.13]], contaminated chunks occasionally caused [[nausea]], as well as being worth less satiation.
 Prior to [[0.12]], cursed blunt weapons or blunt weapons of distortion would prevent players from butchering corpses. Players could get around this with certain spells or mutations.
-In [[0.13]], contaminated chunks no longer caused [[nausea]] but instead granted less satiation.

 *Contaminated chunks may cause [[Nausea]], which prevents eating any kind of food unless Near Starving or Starving.  The risk from contaminated chunks is greatly reduced for species with levels in Saprovore ([[troll]]s, [[ogre]]s, [[hill orc]]s, [[kobold]]s), and eliminated entirely at Saprovore 3 ([[ghoul]]s). Saprovore also enables the consumption of rotting chunks with an increased risk of nausea (though ghouls are a special case and will actually benefit from eating rotten meat).
 *The [[Carnivore]] mutation or wearing an [[amulet of the gourmand]] will allow you to eat chunks even when not hungry and gain more nutrition from them.

 *If your current weapon isn't sharp, the "cut" command will automatically switch you to an emergency knife for the duration of the butchery. (Prior to [[0.9]], this knife was not present, requiring characters to always carry an edged weapon.) Note that this does not work if your current weapon is [[cursed]], which prevents you from unwielding it, or if your weapon has the [[distortion]] brand, which makes unwielding it extremely risky.
 **Certain mutations allow characters to butcher corpses even if their weapon would prevent them from doing so -- [[Fangs]] 3, any rank of [[Claws]], or the combination of a [[Beak]] and [[Talons]] will all work for this. Ghouls and trolls start with claws, felids and vampires start with fangs (though vampires cannot consume the chunks they butcher), and [[tengu]] start with talons and a beak.
