Dimitroff's Encyclopaedia of the Wonders of the Zone
Controlled Substances
Arranged by power of side effects
Bread - The exact composition of bread found in the Zone is yet to be determined. However, no ill effects have yet to be recorded, and aside from the natural effects of everpresent radiation, bread is widely considered completely harmless.
Tourist's Delight - The 'tourist' part of the name of this delicious treat is of questionable origin. One thing is certain however, this is definitely not the usual can of Tushenka. Given the somewhat ironic current lack of tourists in the Zone, stalkers coming upon Tourist's Delight in their travels have reason to avoid it.
Diet Sausage - The makers of this product claim it to be produced of natural chicken and soybean, however, these claims are most likely ill-founded. Given the natural absence of both ingredients in the Zone, and the difficulty of importing, the diet sausage is probably something other. Reputable sources state that the diet sausage may be nothing other than boar phallus. If so, significant radiation poisoning may be a side effect. An important issue to note with the diet sausage is to consume it separately when having an aside of bread. Failure to follow instructions result in instantaneous destruction of the contents individual's cranium.
Cossacks Vodka - The connection between this product and the once-popular computer game must have been lost in translation, however, no evidence suggests that this stuff is any different from regular Vodka.
Energy Drink - Considered by some stalkers to consist of a powdered form of the Thorn artifact, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R energy drink certainly packs more 'energy' than its competitors. Professor Kruglov is known to sport a modified SSP-99m suit which distills 'natural waste' into this wonderful gift of the Zone.
"Tusk" - The most commonly used aftershave in the Zone, Tusk allegedly is made of Boar urine. As stated by experienced stalkers and scientists, Tusk may sometimes help early cases of Mandiblodendritia (e.g Bloodsucker disease).
Transylvanian Vodka - Known as 'bloodsucker pee', this highly alcoholic beverage was once incredibly rare controlled substance in the Zone. Ever since Dimitroff's discovery of the possibility of milking bugged bloodsuckers, and exploits of such, the amount of available Transylvanian Vodka in the Zone has increased drastically. It is known that the stalker Skogstroll is in current possession of much of Dimitroff's initial supply. Three bottles are also known to reside in the Zone Bar in the possession of Sevis. Overconsumption of Transylvanian Vodka may result in powerful mutations including Mandiblodendritia and/or extra limbs.
Fruit Punch - Despite the assumptions of many inexperienced stalkers, The aqueous anomaly known as 'Fruit Punch' is actually quite drinkable. Despite it's acidic properties, some hardened stalkers drink this substance as a substitute for typical alcoholic beverages. A puddle has been proven to exist outside the Zone Bar. Possibility of contamination is nonexistent. Overconsumption of Fruit Punch can lead to severe negative effects on health, sometimes resulting in death, as seen with the stalker Dolev.
Swampwater (treated) - Used as a cure for extensive, latter-stage mutations, this form of swampwater comes exclusively from Yantar in it's form of treatment after being processed by the scientists, although it is sometimes found in various bars mistakenly labeled as a powerful alcoholic beverage. Treated Swampwater is the only known cure for Mandiblodendritia, and may destroy some forms of body tissue upon contact. Swampwater coming from less irradiated parts of the Zone may also be used for this purpose, although often with lesser effect.
Snorkshake a la Carnage - A powerful consumable consisting of liquefied snork and a powdered Jellyfish artifact, Snorkshake was discovered by the stalker Carnageman after an alcoholic snork was liquefied by a glass of absinthe. This was the only recorded instance of the Snorkshake appearing in the Zone as the rest of the Snork was cleaned up by Dimitroff. However, experienced stalkers hope to repeat the experiment and create more of this wonder-drug using possible future reserves of absinthe on captured snorks. Snorkshake is typically served in janitorial buckets after the remains of the mutant are mopped up.
Nukular Shrooms - A mutated species of wild mushroom found exclusively in the Red Forest. Owing it's mind-bending potency to intense psy-fields and radiation, it is rumored that a very small dose of the Shrooms (approximately 1 %) gives Ganja's Herb its distinct flavor. If so, the rest of Ganja's Herb just may happen to be nothing else but swampgrass fertilized with radioactive boar manure. Nukular Shrooms area very sought-after (but outlawed) delicacy in the Zone, and only a few have ever been found by the author of this guide. It is also known that the Shrooms are often guarded by a species of Snork which is able to fly.
Absinthe - Without doubt the most potent substance in the Zone, stalker absinthe consists of a deadly mix of aged kvas, and the artifact known as Pellicle. Upon sampling, a stalker may experience poweful side effects which range from falling unconscious for several hours to comlplete loss of sanity, and destruction of internal organs. A stalker drinking half a glass of absinthe was seen stumbling all the way to the the Yantar complex before finally impaling himself with a large beam of rebar. Upon drinking a quarter-glass, Dimitroff was rendered unconscious for nearly 9 hours. The remaining quarter-glass was drunk by an alcoholic snork, who was destroyed by the chemical, subsequently creating the potent drug known as Snorkshake a la Carnage.
Unique Objects/Artifacts/Equipment
Hello Kitty - The only known components of this unique subcategory are the Hello Kitty boots, as well as the Hello Kitty Rifle series. The boots in question are classified as "Special Anomaly Hello Kitty Boots" and had once belonged to the stalker known as Dolev. After Dolev's unfortunate death, the boots were rediscovered at the swamp in Yantar by Professor Sakharov, and later bought by the stalker skogstroll, from who they were traded to Dimitroff, who later sold them to Kaze, the Freedom leader, in whose possession they currently reside. Distinguishing features are a pair of Hello Kitty images on the sides. The Hello Kitty Rifles include the Hello Kitty Colt AR-15, as well as the Hello Kitty H&K G36. Not much is known about these elusive guns, and they are yet to be seen in the Zone.
Notable Creatures/Anomalies
Alcoholic Snork - A unique snork which has developed a considerable attraction, and resistance to alcohol. This extremely unusual condition may be attributed to prolonged exposure to the swampwaters of Yantar, or the consequent inebriation with Dimitroff on solid ground. The snork currently belongs to the stalker known as Exo-4UZ, and spends much of its time at the Zone Bar.
The Green Flesh - A creature roughly resembling a flesh in its features was seen during the night of October the 2nd of 2008 near the Zone Bar. The alleged "flesh" glowed a bright neon green color, which distinguished it from any other mutants seen in the area. Possible explanations range from exposure of the flesh to a Fruit Punch anomaly near the Bar, to the intense inebriation of the patrons during the time.
SNORKS WITH TITS - errm... not much to see here, just move along now...
Zeno, the Camel - The only instance of a legitimately biological camel residing in the Zone. Zeno spends much of his time at the Zone Bar, impersonating a stalker of the same name. Hardened stalkers know better than to believe this, however. Zeno happened to own a rocket-powered airborne supercar before it was hijacked by Afterburnzz and subsequently destroyed by a Tsar-Cannon projectile misfired by Dimitroff. The camel is also quite adept at the art of drawing and singing, and holds the position of the ZSG's professional artist and minstrel.
VIP Stalker Profiles
Dimitroff - The man behind the wondrous thing known as this Encyclopedia. Dimitroff is a real gift from the Zone to rookie and veteran stalkers alike. An expert on anomalous substances, radiation, mutants and respective mutations, as well as an honest trader and able fighter. Dimitroff also happens to be one of the heaviest drinkers in the history of the Zone, as his endeavors with Transylvanian Vodka have left him with several conditions including Mandiblodendritia, as well as the ability to go invisible and a state of permanent red vision. Dimitroff has been also known for the development of the method of milking bloodsuckers, making him responsible for the increasing amounts of Transylvanian Vodka available to stalkers. As of late, Dimitroff has been rumored to become nothing other than the Monolith itse-ALL GLORY TO THE MONOLITH!
Afterburnzz - An experienced stalker, Afterburnzz is perhaps the greatest fan of Fruit Punch in the entire Zone. However, this may be attributed to the fact that Afterburnzz's experiments with less "pure" controlled substances led to an ungainly mutation in which he had gained a third arm on his back. Thanks to the timely intervention of the Zone Bar keeper Sevis, and a bottle of treated swampwater, the third arm was quickly removed, and later donated by Afterburnzz to the Unusual Mutations section of the Zone museum. Afterburnzz can also be credited with the idea of "Dimitroff's Premium Comprehensive Guide to Bloodsuckers", and is a well-known member of the ZSG community. Following Sevis' mysterious disappearance, Afterburnzz has assumed his position in Duty and as keeper of the Zone Bar.
Skogstroll - Among stalkers, Skogstroll is best known for his profitable trading policies and his mountanous supplies of useful "stuff". Skogstroll is known to possess the majority of the Transylvanian Vodka found in the Zone, which he had previously acquired from Dimitroff. Skogstroll was also the stalker to re-discover Dolev's Special Anomaly Boots (AKA "Hello Kitty Boots"), which would later find their way into the hands of Freedom leader Kaze. There have been several claims as to the fact that Skogstroll possesses an incredible 24 bottles of Absinthe, a development which may lead into the future rise of Snork farming and the production of Snorkshake a la Carnage.
Sevis - The renowned keeper of the Zone Bar is known to all stalkers for his cheap pricing on alcoholic (and other) drinks, and willingness to help any stalker out there, rookie and veteran alike. However, despite Sevis' good virtues, several infamous incidents of his doing have to be taken into account. The foremost of these happens to be his deceivery of bar regulars by passing swampwater and Transylvanian Vodka in place of the regular kind. This caused an inexplicable swelling in the numbers of unusual mutations among the patrons, including mandiblodendritia, extra limbs, etc... Nevertheless, most patrons (with exception of Dimitroff and Afterburnzz) had recovered quickly enough, and perhaps with time Sevis may be redeemed. As for now, Sevis will, by ZSG canon, be held responsible for everything to ever go awry in the Zone.
Carnageman - An enterprising Stalker who happens to be the owner of the only automated brewery in the Zone. The brewery, located at the Yantar X-16 lab, manufactures many alcoholic commodities at an affordable price. He is also known for his development of the alcoholic drink known as Snorkshake a la Carnage, which is made by liquidizing snorks with absinthe. Carnageman is one of the main suppliers of Sevis' Zone Bar, and has collaborated with Karcentric and Dimitroff in the "Zone Within the Zone" project.
Karcentric - One of the only scientifically inclined stalkers in the Zone, Karcentric is primarily known for his Zone Within A Zone project and all it's related branches. Although the project was recently abandoned due to a warp anomaly, it is still in full working condition and is up for grabs to anyone crafty enough to tame it. Other acts Karcentric is famous for include experiments with dynamite and anomalies in the Red Forest, as well as expeditions to prove and exploit the existence of chickens in the Zone. Karcentric is the recognized developer of many popular inventions in the Zone, including the Kar-Jiggeter slaved controller module keeping Carnageman's brewery in operation.
Dragunov - Given the fact that any attempt to objectively describe Dragunov will be met with furious editing from the latter, it will suffice to say that he is a Dutier, and that he's pretty damn awesome.
Chernobyl - A former worker in the CNPP in his past life and single five most (in)famous stalkers ever to live, Chernobyl had mutated to become several distinct entities; Chernobyl, Kharkiv, Werewolf, Rodent and that fifth guy whose name everyone forgets that are all collectively referred to as himself. Chernobyl is perhaps one of the most powerful creatures to ever appear in the Zone, as his powers have evolved to multiply himself nearly indefinitely. Chernobyl is senselessly devoted to Ukrytie, or the structure covering Reactor Block 4 of the Chernobyl NPP, and has been known to go to virtually any lengths to defend it. As a result of these actions, Chernobyl has been sequestered from the rest of the Zone. Nevertheless, he patiently bides his time, waiting to be freed so he can unleash the swarms of himself upon the Zone once more.
I AM CHERNOBYL
Other
BOLT HOLD OPEN - BOLT HOLD OPEN is widely considered to be the tool of the utmost power in a master stalker's arsenal. There have been recorded instances in which the feared and respected Dutier known as Dragunov has used this mechanism of unspeakable power to stop time, destroy bases of operations, and, most stunningly, fight off massive amounts of tildes, which are known to be BOLT HOLD OPEN'S only known worthy opponent. [limegreen]Asking about this one more time will have you BOLTED the fuck down and HELD OPEN.[/limegreen]
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! - A series of truly enlightening brain farts for the uneducated made by Dragunov in his glory days.
TROLOLO - he's just very glad, because he is finally returning home.

Sidorovich - the infamoustrader BASTARD known for his selling of various unreasonably priced but useful items BASTARD OVERPRICED STALKER SUITS, 60,000RU. For these misdeeds, numerous attempts have been made by Skogstroll to 'remove' Sid and instill himself as the new trader in the region. However, these ventures have proved ineffectual, as Sidorovich is evidently a paraplegic. Sidorovich hosts an unbelievably popular variety show and has damn cheap tastes. The only known measure against Sidorovich's BASTARD schemes is DOGFOOD, which happens to be better than most of the things found in the Zone. Sidorovich was finally killed for good by the BOLT HOLD OPEN power of 5555GET on the Svobodalith board by Dimitroff. What Dimitroff doesn't know is that GETs don't kill Siddies. They just regenerate.
