'''Hallucinatory [[monster]]s''' do not exist in [[NetHack]], but their names can appear when you are [[hallucination|hallucinating]] and interacting with monsters. A few appear as real monsters in [[SLASH'EM]]. Many of the monster names come from other [[roguelike]]s, mythologies, fantasy worlds, and popular culture{{refsrc|bogusmon.txt|0|nethack=3.6.0}}.

In ''[[NetHack]]'', [[hallucination]] can cause you to perceive [[monsters]] as other beings, including those that otherwise do not exist in the game. These '''hallucinatory monsters''' are based on creatures from other [[roguelike]]s, fantasy worlds, folklores and popular culture.{{refsrc|bogusmon.txt|0|nethack=3.6.0}}

In NetHack, hallucination can cause you to perceive monsters as other beings, including those that otherwise do not exist in the game. These hallucinatory monsters are based on creatures from other roguelikes, fantasy worlds, folklores and popular culture.[1]

Some of the creatures used as hallucinatory monsters may appear as real monsters in SLASH'EM and other variants of NetHack.
