In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], '''Apollo''' is the [[lawful]] [[god]] for the pantheon of [[Ranger]]s that are not [[Gnome (starting race)|gnomish]], [[Elf (starting race)|elven]] or [[Drow (starting race)|drow]].

==Description==
Apollo is a lawful god of holy holiness, and his [[minion]]s consist of [[plains centaur]]s, [[mountain centaur]]s, [[oread]]s, [[Trumpet Archon]]s, and [[Light Archon]]s. His [[crowning]] gift is [[dNetHack artifacts#Sunbeam|Sunbeam]], a lawful Ranger-favoring [[intelligent artifact]] whose [[base item]] is a set of [[golden arrow]]s: Sunbeams have +1d10 [[to-hit]] and double damage bonuses, and are permanently covered in [[poison]] and [[sickness]]-inducing filth, and grant [[drain resistance]] while carried. They are never lost when [[thrown]] or [[fired]], [[petrify]] [[Troll (monster class)|trolls]] and vaporize [[gremlin]]s on hit, and will automatically return to the [[hero]] after being fired on a cooldown of [[rnz]](20).

==Origin==
{{wikipedia}}
Apollo is one of the Olympian deities of classical Greek and Roman religion and mythology. He is considered to be the most beautiful god, and is the son of Zeus and Leto and the twin brother of Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Apollo is a god of archery, which he and Artemis are credited with inventing - he is also a god of music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, and poetry among many other aspects, and is one of the most important and complex of the Greek gods. As the patron deity of Delphi (Apollo Pythios), Apollo is also an oracular god, serving as the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle and the deity of ritual purification; his oracles were often consulted for guidance in various matters. He was in general seen as the god who affords help and wards off evil.

Apollo is usually described as carrying a silver or golden bow and a quiver of silver or golden arrows. Though Apollo was associated with medicine and healing (either through himself or his son Asclepius, who lends his name to [[The Staff of Aesculapius|an artifact]] in ''[[NetHack]]'') and delivered people from epidemics, he could bring ill health and deadly plague with his arrows. These both serve as the basis for Sunbeam in dNetHack and its variants.
