An '''antimatter vortex''', {{brightgreen|v}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]], and is present in older versions of [[UnNetHack]] from 3.5.1 to 4.0.0. The antimatter vortex is the strongest type of vortex that can be encountered, and is [[unsolid]] can be seen via [[infravision]].

An antimatter vortex has an [[engulfing]] attack that [[disintegrate]]s its target, and a passive attack that can disintegrate attacking monsters. Antimatter vortices possess [[shock resistance]], [[fire resistance]], [[cold resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[disintegration resistance]], [[poison resistance]], and [[stoning resistance]].

==Generation==
Randomly generated anti-matter vortices are always created hostile, and are only generated in [[Gehennom (EvilHack)|Gehennom]].

Anti-matter vortices [[Corpseless|do not leave a corpse]] upon death.

-Antimatter vortices are highly dangerous monsters to encounter due to their high potential of [[instadeath]] and resistance to almost all forms of damage, possessing a base [[AC]] of 0 and a high 18 [[speed]]&mdash;they can even be created prematurely if a monster hits a [[polymorph trap]]. One of the few saving graces is that they are thankfully quite rare and will normally only generate in Gehennom, by which point a [[hero]] will ideally have found a source of disintegration resistance and a means of viable offense against them: the [[tin]] or [[corpse]] of a [[black dragon]] grants enough [[Partial intrinsic|partial disintegration resistance]] for a hero to avoid instadeath, and the resistance can also be obtained from eating [[snark]]s and [[boojum]]s.

 Of note is that the antimatter vortex does not have [[acid resistance]], meaning that stronger spellcasting heroes can potentially use the {{+ of|acid blast}} spell in order to douse them before they can draw close enough to pose a threat. For melee-focused heroes, the [[Sword of Annihilation]] grants extrinsic disintegration resistance that also protects their inventory as well. Heroes can also take advantage of the vortex's [[magic saving throw]] of 30, which is not as high compared to other incredibly-lethal monsters that they can encounter.
