[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:TELEPORTATION] into the definition for whatever creature you want to be able to do it. Haven't been able to do it as an adventurer yet, and I've no idea how you would control it, but it seems to work otherwise.

[EmperorJon]

How does this work...?

[blue sam3]

How does this work...?

It briefly transforms the unit into a vermin creature type, which is capable of teleportation, thus allowing them to move wherever they like in the nearby area, then transforms them back.

[EmperorJon]

Oh right, I was unaware crows counted as vermin. Science time.

[Trapezohedron]

I think this does not work. I've had my adventurer goblins polymorph accidentally as toads, which are vermin. They seemed to be viewable via the look button.

I think non-vermin becoming vermin has the same effect as producing creatures via reactions, 'cept reversed.

You could do this better by polymorphing into a speed:0 creature for just 1 - 3 seconds.

[EmperorJon]

So... can we create vermin in reactions and use an interaction to turn them to nonvermin!?!?!!!!!!1111 

[Quietust]

I don't see any reason why this should work at all - while Units and Vermin come from the same raws, they are completely different things.

[EmperorJon]

Vermin have the General_poison syndrome class, do you know if they can contract syndromes?

[Girlinhat]

I haven't looked into this yet, but is it possible to turn a creature into another creature permanently?

[Deon]

It is. Although polymorphed vermin don't work appropriately, there are weird things which I did not test through yet.

Also you will lose all of your items.
It would be better just to transform into a "mist" creature with extreme speed which cannot attack.

[Girlinhat]

More importantly, dragon hearts can be eaten to turn a creature into a dragon!  Let there be chaos!

Also, can you polymorph into a plant?  If you make the target into a plump helmet, what happens?

[Reelya]

So... can we create vermin in reactions and use an interaction to turn them to nonvermin!?!?!!!!!!1111 

Tested turning reaction-created vermin into regular creature, and that doesn't work. What was odd though, is the reaction vermin had no caste, then I applied transform syndrome and they gained a caste ("Honey Bee" => "Honey Bee Worker")

@Girlinhat: i think the transforms expect a creature:caste token, so i don't think you can make a true plant.

Though for fun, i modded plump helmet / dwarven wine to turn drinkers into Plump Helmet Men

[Rumrusher]

looks like the only way one could teleport is through dfusion or runesmith if they get updated.

[Quietust]

What was odd though, is the reaction vermin had no caste,

I see that Toady hasn't yet fixed this bug...

[Reelya]

Yeah but we have a work-around now with the syndrome giving them a caste, which was my point.
Too bad there's a brick wall between vermin and creatures though...
