So, one time I tamed this werewolf, and while he wasnt actually in werewolf form I gave him some items to fight with and some items to hold. The thing was, when he polymorphed into a werewolf he dropped all of his equipped items! Is this a bug? Because when I've been a werewolf I know my equipped items just go to the inventory when I'm polymorphed...

Perhaps it's just something the devs did not thing about. They wanted the player to hold his stuff but a real werewolf shouldn't be able to think that far?

I've noticed that while all creatures can eat and drink, only humanoid creatures that can wield will actually pick anything up. When humanoid creatures that can wield are polymorphed into something that can't wield, it will automatically drop all items. Very useful for disarming some of the tougher named enemies

The ones that you can actually polymorph, that is.

Hmm... Even if some of them are 'wand of polymorph' resistant, would it be possible to have them eat something that'll make them polymorph? Or dropping a ring of polymorph and hope it changes them into something?

I believe this is because monsters do not have an inventory, like players.

Wait, no, that can't be right... don't angels carry holy books in their inventory?

Hmm...

Maybe only creatures that can wield have inventories?

At least, that's my take.
