You know why I'm here, Slog.

The Cloaca Surprise is a recipe that is taught by Slog of the Cloaca for 50 Mollusk reputation. Slog will not teach this to True Kin. Eating this recipe will cause the player's body to morph into a body similar to Slog's. Their sprite will transform into Slog's, but horizontally flipped and with white as the main tile color.

Body Slots

The player sprite will retain their original tile colors, which is usually bright white with detail colors depending on their calling or caste.

The consumer's original body will be swapped with a predefined body form which will always have these slots:

• Head
• Feelers (replaces face)
• Back
• Hands
• Hand (2)
• Missile Weapon (2)
• Tail
• Thrown Weapon
• Floating Nearby

This means that for the average human player character:

• Arms will be lost (arms granted by Multiple Arms stay)
• Feet will be lost (feet granted by Multiple Legs stay)
  • This can negate Hooks for Feet (D) unless the character has extra feet, in which case the hooks will move to those. (As of 204.61, this effect is bugged if you have more than one extra feet slot via Chimera parts. In this case, all remaining feet slots will be filled with hooks when you transform, but having feet severed and regenerated will reset this so that only one feet slot contains hooks.)
• Chimeric Body Parts from the Chimera Genotype stay
  • The player can no longer become prone unless they still have feet from Multiple Legs
• First face slot will be renamed to Feelers (any other faces will remain the same)
• The mutation Bilge Sphincter will be granted
• A tail slot will grow with the Bilge Sphincter as a melee weapon
  • This part is considered essential, preventing it from being dismembered

Consuming the Surprise

... You feel an uncomfortable pressure across the length of your body. Feelers rip through your scalp and shudder with curiosity. A bilge hose painted with mucus undulates out of your lower body. It spews the amniotic broth of its birth from its sputtering mouth.

The following gets added into the Journal:

You ate the Cloaca Surprise.

Attempting to eat the surprise again will give the player this message:

Your genome has already undergone this transformation.

Trivia

Prior to Patch 204.53, characters with the Chimera genotype did not transform upon consuming the Cloaca Surprise, and were instead shown the message "Your stomach gurgles pleasantly."
