Wait, to become a husk you have to be in evil rain right?

[Sibilantjoe]

I just became the weirdest husk. After walking into a could of "eerie dust," I got husk'd, but not only were my stats not affected but they can still increase! I still have the husk speed debuff, as well as husk durability. Well, since I'm essentially unkillable I'll just slaughter a civ or three and get my stats up to superhuman across the board!

Update: For some reason, my speed (which dropped from 1600 to 1200 when I became a husk) has now dropped to 816. No visible injuries, no changes to my stats. What in Armok's name is happening here?

[Angel Of Death]

Can I be a husk AND a vampire?

The way I've been reading it seems like only mist/smoke/dust/whatever can husk you. Rain doesn't seem to ever have that effect. Can anyone confirm?

Reduced speed is a documented husk trait from what I understand. That said, I have no idea why it would continue to drop. It's not like there's a whole lot that can cripple you now.

Yet another eerie dust husk update: I am exuding repulsive murk from every part of my body. Holy shit.

HIT THINGS. HIT THINGS AND RUN.

This is just a guess but I think that murk is part of what spreads the husk taint. If you walk into town, slap a few peasants around and hide, you can probably start a domino effect that ends in a husk hamlet.

[Sibilantjoe]

Nope, spoke too soon. Murk is gone now, and I don't have any more eerie dust covering me, so it doesn't look like I can make any more husks. Ah well, there are some Giant Dingo husks out there that will always remember me fondly, I'm sure.

[ImBocaire]

How the hell are you guys finding ANY dust, let alone husk-inducing dust, in adventure mode? I haven't found a single evil cloud despite turning the evil rain types to 0 and maxing out the evil cloud types.

[Neonivek]

As a suggestion... don't raise werewolf corpses. They are still werewolves.

Toady fixed the vampire speed problem (or at least part of it):

0005231: [Adventure Mode -- Eating/Drinking] Drinking blood as vampire causes permanent speed loss (Toady One) - resolved.

[WillowLuman]

Vampires cannot become husks, and vice-versa, because becoming either one requires that you do not have the NOT_LIVING tag, which is added upon becoming undead. So you can be a Necromancer and something else, but you can only pick one.

Also, husks are hated by all, including tomb mummies and your own raised zombies(?)

[Thecard]

With that speed issue, did you maybe get a syndrome from the evil murk?  I thought I remembered Toady mentioning something about them giving random syndromes sometimes.

[Rumrusher]

Also don't try to custom reaction transform bogeymen you'll end up crashing the game.

[Cthulhu]

Just husked myself to see how it was, my speed dropped to 600 so it took three or four tries just to get to a town with all my limbs intact.  Once in town they couldn't kill me but I couldn't really do anything and it wasn't fun so I gave into starvation.
