Unless your friendly implementor changes the code, only login id's called "david" ever see treasure zoos. >> Is there anything special about lurkers above and nurses ? >I believe eating a nurse puts you to max hp.

You sharpen a worm tooth by reading the right scroll over it. Don't drop it, though. A crysknife does 1d12 damage to both large and small monsters, far superior to both 2-H and long swords.
