 {{for|the monster as he appears in other variants|Baphomet}}
 '''Baphomet''', {{magenta|&}}, is a [[unique]] [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. Baphomet is a [[strong]] [[humanoid]] [[demon lord]] that has the form of a [[minotaur]] and is considered part [[Giant (monster attribute)|giant]]. He is capable of [[swimming]], has [[infravision]], can be seen via infravision, can [[see invisible]], will pick up items that he happens across, and can [[follow]] the [[hero]] to other levels if he is adjacent. Baphomet cannot be [[tamed]], and will turn [[traitor]] if somehow tamed.

-Baphomet can be difficult to avoid for those trying to slip past without a fight, depending on his location in the arena relative to the stairs (which have six possible locations) - his level will also be full of his servant [[minotaur]]s and [[minotaur priestess]]es, and Baphomet himself also counts as a minotaur.

 Baphomet is a very strong melee specialist, but is not particularly threatening to an ascension-ready hero: it may also be possible to dig out a path that allows them to get the jump on Baphomet, then read a non-cursed [[scroll of earth]] before he can warp to their position.

 The Baphomet of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' is a demon lord that rules the seemingly-infinite Endless Maze within the Abyss - he is known as the Prince of Beasts and the Minotaur Lord, and naturally has a multitude of minotaur and humanoids that serve as followers and minions, including ghour demons that resemble burly, hairless minotaurs and act as commanders for his troops of minions. Appearing as a 20‑foot-tall (6.1‑meter) black-furred minotaur with six often-bloodstained iron horns and fiendishly-lit red eyes, Baphomet is a fearsome presence and an embodiment of savagery that deceives his followers into embracing brutality, and employs similar ferocity in dealing with both his enemies and those who fail him. Despite a well-earned reputation for savagery, Baphomet also possesses a cruel and cunning intellect devoted to subjugating civilization, and has employed it in creating various new demonic breeds within his infamous Tower of Science.
-Baphomet was supposedly once mortal, though it is unknown (including to Baphomet himself) whether he had been a beast-turned-man or a man-turned-beast, and it is suggested that he was cursed by the gods treating them like cattle and banished to the Abyss. In any case, Baphomet revels in his abyssal power and considers it a blessing: along with 'standard' demon lord powers and various spell-like abilities, Baphomet possesses a breath weapon that can blast foes with gouts of negatively-charged unholy water. He wields a giant polearm sometimes known as "Heartcleaver" that can cause grievous damage, though he just as often casts it aside to charge and attack with horns, hooves and teeth; he can also awaken evil intelligence within animals, and can cause savage madness in beasts and humanoids through mere proximity to him. Baphomet is the eternal enemy of Yeenoghu, with the feud going back far enough that neither remembers how it originally started - this enmity also extends to [[Orcus]], who captured Baphomet as part of an alliance with Yeenoghu. He also shares an unusual non-interference pact with the entity known as Pale Night, who dwells on the same layer: though they never joined forces to accomplish a goal, there is also no conflict between them, and any attempt to lay siege to the holdings of one might provoke the other.
