Notes

• Changes the monster into one of three random amphibians: a frog, a newt, or a salamander. They are very weak, and give only 1 <substat> and 1 item - a squashed frog, eye of newt or salamander spleen.
• A CLEESHed monster does not drop any of the items that it would originally have dropped before being CLEESHed unless, at the time of the CLEESHing, the monster has an effect on it which causes it to take continual damage (i.e. Disco Bleeding).
• The skill can be made permanent when ascending.
• Having CLEESH as a permanent skill does not allow you to use CLEESH in the strange leaflet earlier than you normally would.
• The following monsters are immune to CLEESH:
  • Amphibians
    • newt
    • frog
    • salamander
    • apathetic lizardman
  • Every monster found in The Sea.
  • Bosses
    • Baron Von Ratsworth
    • Boss Bat
    • The Knob Goblin King
    • The Bonerdagon
    • Felonia, Queen of the Spooky Gravy Fairies
    • The Naughty Sorceress, both forms
    • Dr. Awkward
    • Hodgman, The Hoboverlord
  • Specials
    • topiary golem
    • mimic
    • The Guy Made Of Bees
    • All monsters in The Sorceress' Tower
    • All monsters in Fernswarthy's Basement
    • All sub-boss monsters in The Cyrpt
    • Ancient protector spirits
    • The Crimbomination
• Attempting to cleesh a monster which is immune results in the following message:

  "You cast CLEESH at your opponent. It burps quietly, but nothing else happens."

• Monsters in The Briny Deeps give an alternative message:

  "You cast CLEESH at your opponent, but it apparently doesn't work on things that already live underwater."
