Lvl5 character happily wandering through the VD. Entering level six I encounter a black wizard.

I've had it happen to the cute dog, too. If I actually cared for the little bugger, it would've broken my heart.

It's actually a realistic danger: The cute dog doesn't need much corruption to transform. In fact, I suspect even the slightest taint of chaos will do...
