In ANATOMIST you read them. In GRAFT you wear them. A real Game Boy cartridge (.gb ROM). The free browser demo is on this page: floors one to four, no download. Every monster is still composed while you play, out of authored body parts, and every part is still a rule. Now you are built from parts too.
Kill a creature and a prompt shows you its body, part by part: take one, and the rule it carried is yours. part on a monster on you Many legs it moves twice for every step you take they act once for every two of your steps A scythe arm it reaches 2 squares, even diagonally you reach 2 squares, in straight lines A shell your first hit on it does half the first hit on you each floor does half Spines hitting it costs you a life hitting you costs them a life A brute torso six life, a long fight ten life pips, the most a body holds Roots, or a stub it never moves / it cannot hurt you your body refuses both The parts you want are on the monsters that can kill you.
Reading a silhouette now answers two questions: can this kill me, and do I want what it is wearing? A graft costs one life, never your last. Monsters sleep until you come within two squares, so you choose your fights.
