The Executioner is a unique monster, found in UnNetHack at the lowest level of Sheol. He attacks fast, and his weapon of choice is the artefact double-headed battle-axe Cleaver. He is assisted in this aim by paralysing monsters such as blue slime. He presides over a hoard including the crystal ice pick. If given the freedom to strike, he is quite capable of eliminating an ascension-equipped adventurer in a couple of rounds.

Strategy

One weakness of the Executioner is that he does not have sleep resistance. A player was able to successfully anaesthetise and then despatch him by means of the sleep spell and a dagger.

Encyclopedia entry

Executioners like to immediately execute adventurers who get trapped in their icy lairs. Challenging them in direct hand-to-hand combat would be headlessly stupid.
