Version 0.15: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The Saprovore mutation allows you to eat chunks of meat without be hungry before and rotten meat (for less nutrition than when eating fresh meat). This mutation does not provide the benefits of the Carnivore mutation. Saprovores get different messages when food rots in their backpack.

The saprovore mutation only exists as a starting mutation for ogres (rank 1) and ghouls (rank 3), or as a possible demonspawn mutation. It may not be acquired from random mutations, nor may it be lost.

  • Saprovore 3 is a requirement for a ghoul's ability to recover HP while eating meat, but they are separate abilities. In Wizard mode, ghouls without Saprovore 3 lost their ability to recover HP in this way, while non-ghouls given Saprovore 3 did not suddenly gain the ability.

History

Prior to 0.15, Hill orcs, Kobolds and Ogres started with this mutation, at rank 1 (rank 2 for kobolds).

Prior to 0.13, this mutation influenced the chance to have the nausea eating chunks of meat, but this effect has been removed.
