Verifying Monsters

When verifying monsters on the GnollHackWiki against the GnollHack C code, compare the monster's documentation with struct permonst defined in include/permonst.h and the data in src/monst.c.

Important Rules

• NEVER compare item weights. Do not check or update corpse weight (cwt) or any other weight on the wiki.
• Pay attention to which kind of data is present in struct permonst.

What to Compare

1. Base Properties

• Difficulty/Level: Compare with difficulty and mlevel.
• Movement Speed: Compare with mmove.
• Armor Class (AC): Compare with ac.
• Magic Cancellation (MC): Compare with mc.
• Magic Resistance (MR): Compare with mr.
• Alignment: Compare with maligntyp.

2. Attributes

• Base Attributes: Compare with str, dex, con, intl, wis, cha.
• Resistances: Compare with mresists and mresists2.
• Conveys: Compare with mconveys (what the monster conveys when eaten).

3. Attacks

• Attacks Array (mattk): Compare each attack in the matrix for aatyp (attack type, e.g., claw, bite), adtyp (damage type, e.g., physical, fire), damn (number of dice), and damd (size of dice).

How to Verify

1. Locate the monster in src/monst.c.
2. Map the fields to the struct permonst definition.
3. Check the wiki page for discrepancies based on the list above.
