The Ninja is a monster in NetHack that is notable as the only non-unique, non-randomly-generated hostile monsters to appear on a Quest.
Generation
They appear only during the Samurai quest, and are generated on the home level, the Shogun's castle, and the keep of the quest nemesis, Ashikaga Takauji.
As of NetHack 3.6.0, ninjas are generated with 6-11 shuriken (75% chance) or darts (25% chance), and a short sword (75% chance) or axe (25% chance) as their main weapon.
Strategy
They are an excellent source of the otherwise extremely rare shuriken for samurai.
History
There was once a Ninja role, which was replaced by the Rogue role from NetHack 3.0.0 on.
