When Used:

You cast CLEESH at your opponent. He/she/it/they turns into a frog/newt/salamander.

You can cast this spell during combat. It 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. The monster does NOT drop any of the items that it would originally have dropped before being CLEESHed.

Notes

• The skill can be kept when ascending.
• The permanent status DOES NOT allow using CLEESH earlier in the leaflet.
• The following monsters are immune to CLEESH:

• Amphibians

• newt
• frog
• salamander
• apathetic lizardman

• Bosses

• Baron Von Ratsworth
• Boss Bat
• The Knob Goblin King
• The Bonerdagon
• Felonia, Queen of the Spooky Gravy Fairies
• The Naughty Sorceress, both forms

• Specials

• topiary golem
• All monsters in The Sorceress' Tower
• All monsters in Fernswarthy's Basement
• All sub-boss monsters in The Cyrpt

• 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.

• Cleeshing a monster with a plural name (i.e. the Twig and Berries) results in the ungrammatical message, "You cast CLEESH at your opponent. They turns into a frog/newt/salamander."

• A similar spell of the same name appeared in the PC/Commodore 64/Apple II/8-Bit Atari Zork trilogy of text-adventure games, succeeded by the Enchanter trilogy of the early 1980's. The Zork magic spell would change a creature into a small amphibian.
