0000976: Body parts and corpses don't rot away in the arena or give off miasma.
What I said in the summary.
Just fight stuff in the arena and produce corpses and body parts.
Could be related to a bug in Fort mode that I've heard about with stuff not rotting.
No tags attached.

Even if they were rotting, they'd only give off miasma if they were Dark/Underground, and every tile of the Arena is flagged as Light/Above Ground.

*Facepalm* Good point on the miasma thing. Still, they don't rot, even after a long time.

They don't rot anywhere, this isn't an arena thing.

As far as I can tell, there isn't a bug report for things not rotting in the arena.

It doesn't really matter all that much for the arena unless you want to clean things up afterwards.

It's not specific to the arena. See 0000161
