Once you assume a given form, you have essentially learned everything there is to know about the form, including information on its stats, skills and body type for possessors/mimics. This info is listed (when known) whenever you are prompted to select a form. It is also part of 'monster lore' that will propagate from character to character. So if you play a thousand possessors (ahem ... Hugo?) then you will build up quite a bit stock of monster memory. You also learn this info when probing a monster. Press '=' to view skill info and '=' again to view level restrictions, AC and speed bonuses as well as the 'pseudo-class' for a given form. You can also arrow key around this menu and press '?' to get the monster recall info. The TAB key takes you to the next 'group' in the menu.

The spell stat for a form (if any) is indicated in green, of course.

The mimic gets 5 known slots to store learned forms. Once I learn a new form, I will be prompted to replace an existing form with the new one (or I can ESC to cancel learning the new form). To have a (small) chance of learning a particular form, you need to assume that form when killing the original monster.

Regarding Possessors, I actually did not re-use any savefiles for my Hugo$ouls...

Do PosChengband savefiles keep monster memory after death? Take Hugo$oul 1036, for instance, who got killed by the Unicorn of Order.

Yes, monster memory is tied to the savefile. But the possessor/mimic aspects of monster memory are completely new, so would not be available. (Codespeak: There is a new flag that needs to be set/saved/loaded).

We love watching your progress HugoTheGreat2011. No sarcasm here. :)
