That's what I actually wanted to say. It's most often perceived with
jackals
because they appear quite often (being summoned, in a wilderness
encounter, ...). But they have a low creation propability on a dungeon
level.
So when you kill a monster adom makes this type of monster harder to kill.
Yet this increase is solely based on the creation propability. Hence the
problem when killing lot's of summoned jackals.
