SPELL-SHAPESHIFT

There is a rather long, and involved list of monsters that you can choose from, and the list expands as you get higher in level.

the monsters are probably not well balanced right now, you will undoubtedly find some that are too strong, or some that are too weak in comparison to the others in the room.

I would be very grateful if you tell me which ones are too strong and which ones are too weak.

Correct syntax and format for this is:

cast runes creature_type

where you replace creature_type with one of the creatures listed below.

To return to your character, type the command: RETURN

If you switch into a humanoid monster, you can cast spells if you are a magic-user or cleric, and you can steal if you are a thief.

Now, here is the list:
