Not to be confused with poison cloud.
For other uses, see Cloud (disambiguation).

A cloud, #Cloud.png, is a dungeon feature that appears in NetHack.

Generation

Clouds appear on the Wizard Quest, in some variants of the Big Room, and most prominently on the Plane of Air.

Description

Clouds allow unobstructed passage, but block line of sight - while inside a cloud square, you can see out of it, although clouds in adjacent squares will block your vision as normal.

Plane of Air

Clouds on the Plane of air move around and are occasionally subject to storms, which emit rays of lightning. If you are inside the clouds when lightning strikes, you are paralyzed for a few turns - this cannot be prevented with free action.

UnNetHack

In UnNetHack, clouds are sometimes generated within Sheol.

Encyclopedia entry

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
