+#####R=== Symbiants ===
+
+#####GDescription
+Symbiants live in harmony with all of the monsters that do not move:
+the Mushrooms, Molds, Floating Eyes, and such. They can hypnotise these
+creatures and then form a symbiotic relationship. Using other symbiotic
+powers, they can even use the magical abilities of their pets.
+
+Once hypnotised, the monster is placed onto the body, or "worn" in order to
+initiate the symbiotic relationship.

+#####GStarting Equipment
+A Symbiant begins the game with:
+ a Dagger
+ a Scroll of Summon Never-Moving Pet
+
+
+#####GSymbiosis
+Symbiants rely on the partnerships they form, hypnotising creatures
+and then "wearing" them: "I get by with a little help from my friends".
+Depending on the monster, this does nothing except protect the player
+slightly (the worn monster takes some of the damage the player would
+otherwise) or grant some very powerful attacks and summons.
+Their "spells" are used by the 'm' command; as their Symbiosis skill
+increases, they automatically gain more powers.
+For more detail about the specific powers, look here: *****m_symbio.txt*0[Symbiosis]
+~~~~~03|Symbiant|Naming your symbiote
+#####GNaming your symbiote
+For those sentimental Symbiants who like to name your symbiotes, you
+can use the Inscribe command '{'. Inscribe your hypnotized symbiote
+with "#named Fido" (or whatever name you choose, but don't forget the
+leading '#'), and it will be listed in your equipment as "a Red Mold
+named Fido", and the game will refer to your symbiote by name ("Fido
+is healed", for instance, rather than "Your Red mold is healed").
