"Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee
It looks like a purple people eater to me
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks good to me"


Hello! Just getting started with the game. I came up with this at random, but I figured it be good for a laugh at least. I think it's all good, if I've messed something up, lemme know.


EDIT: Added wings, cuz otherwise that's just silly...

Add this to the body_default.txt: [BODYGLOSS:pigeon-toes:toes:pigeon-toes]

If its friendly you can leave the [BENIGH] tag (allows it to show up on calm maps, which I believe makes them peaceful) and the [BODYGLOSS:.....-toes] with the following one, the first one is not needed (unless you created that bodygloss inside body.txt) other then that it would be funny to encounter these things

[3]

HORN isn't a tag; you've already got the body part elsewhere. You may be thinking of IVORY, which doesn't really have any significant use in this version anyway. Wait, yes it is. Apologies

Bodyglosses must be defined in a body file; hence [BODYGLOSS:pigeon-toes:toes:pigeon-toes] needs to be moved to the bottom of body_default.txt (or another correctly-formatted file).

Other than that it looks like it should work. POWER will result in it being generated as an entity leader, I'm not sure if that's what you intended or not.

[Naes Draw]

Will move the bodygloss.
It's not currently meant to be friendly, but if it is, I think that makes more sense anyway and will keep that. I figured that it was a rock & roll guy in the song, so the POWER would sorta simulate that.

Does it eat flying purple people, does it fly and eat purple people, or is it purple and eats everyone?

[Naes Draw]

I believe the song states that it flies, and eats purple people.


EDIT: Added wings, cuz otherwise that's just silly...

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

Perhaps not all people eaters are purple, and the song is stating that it is a one-eyed one-horned flying people eater, who just happens to be purple instead of the quite possible other colours.
Like Gray, or Blue.

The OEOHFPPE Is a valid monster in NetHack if you are hallucinating.

Sure surprised me when I first found one!

[Eagle0600]

Yes, but if you are hallucinating in NetHack, the array of creatures is ASTOUNDING.

On topic, are you planning on maybe giving it the [ENDING] tag?

[silhouette]

i believe that its purple and eats people.
