The phase of the moon has these effects (1.0.2):

1. When you start the game, if your luck is 0 and it is a full moon,
your luck is set to 1 and you get a message that you are "lucky
tonight".  (On a new moon you get a message to be careful; your luck
isn't affected, but see below.)  Luck affects several things during
the game, which I won't discuss here.  More luck is good for you.

2. On a full moon, an attacking wild dog hits with 3/4 strength.
Also, at night on a full moon, there is a chance that throwing food
at a wild dog will not tame it.  (Dogs act wierd on full moons.)

3. On a new moon, hearing a cockatrice's hissing is guaranteed to
turn you to stone unless you are carrying a dead lizzard.  (There
must be something to the old saying after all: "Dead lizzard at
night, sailor's delight...." :-))  Note that a dead lizzard doesn't
prevent a c from turning you to stone, it just prevents it from being
a sure thing.
