=== Good Effects === When pleased, Scabies will do of the following for you: * 1-in-10 chance to spread [[leprosy]] to all hostile, non-immune [[Monsters|enemiesmonsters]] on the level, but '''only if you are immune to diseases''',

Found randomly== Strategy == * Scabies offers several useful status effects. Especially the immunity to diseases can make your life easier when fighting against [[zombie]]s and constantly getting infected.* Her area attack varies in power depending whether the monster is splashed with the relatively slow-acting poison, as or the acid which will quickly destroy any armor the enemy wears and melt their limbs off.* Scabies has no guaranteed ' polymorph effect transforms the player into a creature between the danger levels of 2500 and 10000 for anywhere between 1000 and 2000 ticks.** This means the player can transform into any creature between an [[imp]] and a metal [[golem]]. Early in the game this will be very useful, later on it will lose its charm. Lucky prayer in the [[altarUnderwater Tunnel]]scan make [[Genetrix Vesana]] a breeze.
* Scabies' polymorph effect transforms the player into a creature between the danger levels of 2500 and 10000 for anywhere between 1000 and 2000 ticks.** This means the player can transform into any creature as weak as an [[imp]] and as powerful as a metal [[golem]]. Early in the game this will be very useful, later on it will lose its charm.== History ==
