    Newly Sentient Beings

    Newly sentient beings are a faction in Caves of Qud. In most cases, they are normally inanimate objects which have become intelligent and mobile.

    Beings can be granted sentience using Spray-a-Brain or a nano-neuro animator on animatable furniture.[1] Animated objects will gain skills based on their function.[2]

    Animated furniture can be found randomly throughout Qud.[3] Very rarely, the player character may even discover one's lair.[4] These legendary creatures have a variety of titles based on their function or construction.[5][6][7]

    One group of newly sentient beings, the slynth, are the subject of the Landing Pads quest. slynth are the only "static" members of their faction, meaning they will appear as members of the cult of a Sultan loved by newly sentient beings. The slynth have a different origin than animated furniture: they are grown from lilypad cuttings inside the hydropon.[8]

    Water Ritual Choice

    Although newly sentient beings "don't know anything,"[9] it is still possible to learn from them. While performing the water ritual with legendary newly sentient beings, for 200 reputation, the player character can ask their water-sib to "teach me to think like a child again."[10] This option will grant 200 Skill Points, displaying the following message:[11]

    Talking to (name) rouses in you an inert truth. You once wore the frock of a child. You poured salt through the cracks of your fingers, and you watched worlds form. Can it be all so simple still?
