Pig Form

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Pig Form is a bad form that can be inflicted either by the unique monster Kirke's Porkalator spell, by the Polymorph spell, or by a wand of polymorph. Becoming a hog melds all equipment (including jewellery), suppresses mutations, and prevents spellcasting.

Pros

• Lower movement delay (7)
• Small size (good evasion)

Cons

• Spellcasting is disabled
• Can't evoke wands
• Can't open doors
• All equipment, other than amulets, is melded
• Unarmed Combat base damage is 1+UC/5, instead of 3+UC
• Unstealthy
• 0 AC

History

While Pig Form has been around as long as Kirke has, version 0.12 made it more common with the changes to the Polymorph spell.
