commit 71506e332b858dde8cde902e42d1823f00edc394
Author: David Lawrence Ramsey <poo...@gm...>
Date:   Wed Jul 9 20:01:16 2025 -0500

    Adjust crawling flesh cage polymorphing/mutation.
    
    Since they're made of mostly ugly thing fragments, they shouldn't
    polymorph the usual way, and since they don't have different colours
    the way ordinary ugly things do, disallow their polymorphing, and
    make their mutation only cosmetic.
    
    (Coincidentally, both of these are exactly how polymorphed/mutated
    abominations are treated.)
