'''Andrealphus, Marquis of Angles''' is a [[Spirits (dNetHack)|spirit]] that appears in [[dNetHack]] and [[notdNetHack]].

==Ritual, seal and taboo==
Andrealphus exists in corners. His seal must be drawn in the corner of a room, and you must #chat to the seal such that the corner is across from you.

To remain bound to Andrealphus, you must not dig through walls, though it is permitted to dig through rough stone.

==Mark==
If a character has Andrealphus bound, their shadow takes on the semblance of depth - this cannot be seen from a distance, and can otherwise be hidden by standing in a dark square.

==Benefits==
While Andrealphus is bound, he grants [[teleport control]] and [[skill]] in [[escape spells]].

Andrealphus's active powers are as follows:

* '''Transdimensional Ray''': Fire an invisible beam that passes through walls, teleports struck monsters, and deals 1d5 dice of damage to them.
* '''Teleport''': Hungerless [[teleportation]].

Andrealphus's passive powers are as follows:

* '''Angle-fighter''': When standing in a corner, the character gains a (XL/2)+1 bonus to [[AC]].
* '''Strange angles''': The character can always fit through narrow openings, regardless of size or current carried weight.

In notdNetHack, '''Andrealphus''', {{cyan|B}}, also appears as a [[monster]] that can be summoned by an [[Illithanachronounbinder]]. He is an [[oviparous]] and [[carnivorous]] [[bird]]like [[animal]] that can be seen via [[infravision]].

Andrealphus has a bite attack, as well as a claw attack that teleports targets similar to the [[quantum mechanic]].

Like many summoned spirits, Andrealphus cannot be [[tame]]d.

===Generation===
Andrealphus is first generated when summoned from his seal by an Illithanachronounbinder. He is always created hostile, and is not a valid form for normal [[polymorph]].

Andrealphus is [[Monster starting inventory|generated with]] a [[sensor pack]] and a [[can of grease]].

Andrealphus [[Corpseless|does not leave a corpse]] upon death.

<simpletabs>
Strategy|
Andrealphus moves at a very fast 20 [[speed]], but his attacks are not nearly as threatening as those of [[Ahazu]] or [[Amon]], and binding Andrealphus to summon him will grant teleport control, which can deal with his teleporting attack.
|-|
Role spoiler|
If Andrealphus is killed after being summoned, he can be encountered again in the [[Void]], a branch accessed by opening the high [[altar]] of [[Ilsensine the Fallen]] as an Illithanachronounbinder using the [[invoke]] effect of [[The Elder Cerebral Fluid]]. Andrealphus is generated along with many other spirits of the near void on the first floor of the branch, and is generated with the "whispers" template, which makes him [[nonliving]].

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
"Angles and curves multiply about me. I perceive great segments of time through curves. There is curved time, and angular time. The beings that exist in angular time cannot enter curved time. It is very strange."

His voice had risen to a scream. "Frank, Frank, a terrible and unspeakable deed was done in the beginning. Before time, the deed, and from the deed—"

He had risen and was hysterically pacing the room. "The seeds of the deed move through angles in dim recesses of time. They are hungry and athirst!"
