What are the names of all of the monster taxa? I’m planning to convert some into booze

dungeons-of-dredmor

Vegetable, Demon, Undead, Animal, etc. – does anyone know what ALL of the monster taxa are? I'm working on a Chef skill for brewing and frying chunks of live monsters in combat, damaging them and creating consumables.

You'd think the taxa would be listed at one of the several Dredmor wikis that exist, but it appears not.

Best Answer

The valid taxa are:

Animal (ie, Diggle)
Construct (ie, Golem)
Demon (ie, Djinn)
Other (ie, Blobby)
Undead (ie, Deth)
Vegetable (ie, Pumpkinn (and yes, that's how it's spelled.))

I pulled this data from the XML file (monDB.xml) that came with the game, so it should represent all the possible monster types.

What are the effects of the “Bad Weapon!” status effect

The Bad Weapon and Hands Full (the debuff for wielding two weapons without the Dual Weilding skill) do not affect any of your statistics, but instead cause a direct percentage loss to your damage output when using melee weapons.

Bad Weapon reduces damage by 28%.
Hands Full reduces damage by 36%.

I'm not sure how these stack (whether it's a straight 64% drop, or compounded ~54% drop).

_{See the Bad Weapon page on the wiki if you want confirmation.}
