Drinking from [[Fountain|fountains]] or stepping through magic gas (released by [[Magic Mushroom]]s or [[Staff of Wondrous Smells]]) can possibly polymorph you or give you PolyControl and/or Polymorphing intrinsics.
The message for receiving == Status Effects == Several [[Status Effects]] are associated with polymorph status is: . ===Polymorphitis=== ''"An uncomfortable uncertainty of who you really are overwhelms you".'' Polymorphitis is a state that forces the character to polymorph at random. If you do not have a means of polycontrol, the monster you transform into will also be random. If you ''do'' have a means of polycontrol, you will be prompted to select a form to take whenever your polymorphitis triggers - see below. ===Polymorph Lock=== Polymorph lock is a rare state that prevent you from polymorphing - or from reverting to your human form if you gain it while already polymorphed. It can be gained from a [[ring]] of unchanging. ===PolyControl=== Polycontrol is a state which allows the character to choose which creature they polymorph into. The easiest way to be permanently in this state is to wear a [[ring]] of polymorph control. You can also temporarily have polycontrol by eating a [[Magic Mushroom]] or drinking from a [[fountain]]. Wielding [[Justifier]] or [[Y'yter Durr]] will also bestow it on the character. Whenever you polymorph with a polycontrol active, you will be prompted to choose which creature to polymorh into. Pressing ESC or choosing ''human'' will cancel the polymorph, as you are human by default. Otherwise, you have to have seen the creature at least once in the given playthrough to be able to assume its form, as well as your [[Intelligence]] have to be sufficient. See individual [[Monsters|creature entries]] for PolyControl requirements. It is not possible to control [[Polypiling|polymorphing of items]].
Wearing A [[Ring|ring of polymorph]] grants polymorphitis, a [[Ring|ring of polymorphcontrol]] will cause the character to grants polycontrol and a [[Ring|ring of unchanging]] grants polymorph randomly. However, it does not give the character PolyControl, so it is risky to wear one on its ownlock.
However, eating the corpses of [[Carnivorous Mutant Bunny|mutant bunnies]], [[Mutant Ass|mutant asses]] or chameleons will polymorph the player. Eating [[Giant Mushroom|giant mushrooms]] will occasionally have this effect.
