First, find a scroll of change material, and then read it to change something large enough into ommel cerumen, and eat it. Although you can't make other ommel stuffs or holy banana flesh, it works because DevTeam failed to forbid player to make ommel cerumen.

You've most likely been infected with [[Diseases|leprosy]]. You can get it from these sources:

*[[Wands|Wand of Cloning]]: These by themselves are not useful, but if you do have some other useful item to clone, this is worth its weight in gold. With one charge you can clone a pile of five items. Note that certain items like wands of cloning, scrolls of wishing or scrolls of charging cannot be cloned because this could be abused. It is therefore sometimes wise to drop more than five items in pile in case the game doesn't allow some to be cloned. If you have a powerful pet like Ivan or a mammoth, you may lure it above the items so it will be cloned, too. You can also stand on the item pile and zap yourself, in which case you will be copied along with the stack. Note that when cloning a pet or yourself, the clone will be born without any equipment and only four items under it will be copied.
 
−
*[[Wands|Wand of Resurrection]]: If you have managed to get a unique monster as a pet, this may be extremely useful. It may also be used to quickly replace lost limbs.
 
−
*[[Cloak of invisibility|cloak]] or [[ring of invisibility]]: Invisibility is a great tactical advantage, but it also causes much more dangerous monsters to be generated.
 
−
*[[ring of polymorph control]]: Very useful if you happen to have a way of polymorphing. Note that being very powerful may cause tough monsters like dark mages to spawn, which is not nice if you encounter them after you have returned to your original form.
 
−
*[[amulet of life saving]]: Basically gives you a second life. That's a *lot*.
 
−
*[[magical whistle]]: Handling more than two pets is almost impossible without this.
 
−
*[[Mjolak]], [[Turox]], [[Saal'Thul]], [[Vermis]], <s>[[Neerc Se'ulb]]</s>, [[thunder hammer]]: Way more powerful than normal weapons. Saal'thul also grants invisibility and Vermis gives teleport control with teleportitis while it also randomly teleports creatures you hit with it. It is sometimes wiser to wish for a broken thunder hammer instead of an intact one, since the game often generates better materials for broken items to compensate the need of repairing.
 
−
*[[Holy Banana of Oily Orpiv]]: Has terrible explosive power which can aid you in boss battles. Also trains all attributes when eaten. Be sure to store this in a hard container like strong-box, because if it explodes in your inventory, you're in BIG trouble.
 
−
*[[Armor of Great Health]]: If you have scrolls of enchant armor, this gives a huge boost to your HPs. Again, a broken one may have a better material, but usually you want to use a scroll of change material for this one, anyway.
 
−
*[[Belts|Belt of Levitation]]: You're flying as long as you have this equipped. Makes you tougher to hit, and nearly immune to bear traps and mines. Make sure something doesn't step on a mine if you're near one, though; you can still be hit by the blast.
 
−
*[[Money]]: You get 50 million roubles, which I was able to sell for just 2 gold pieces.
