-Copper is a chemical element with the symbol ''Cu'' (from Latin: ''cuprum'') and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper is used as a building material and a component of various metal alloys, and copper compounds are used as bacteriostatic agents (which stop bacteria from reproducing), fungicides and wood preservatives.
+Copper is a chemical element with the symbol ''Cu'' (from Latin: ''cuprum'') and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper is used as a building material and a component of various metal alloys, and copper compounds are used as bacteriostatic agents (which stop bacteria from reproducing), fungicides and wood preservatives. Variants of NetHack often incorporate this quality for copper items, giving them a damage bonus against [[fungi]], molds and anything that has a [[disease]] attack.
 Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form, which led to very early human use dating back as far as around 8000 BC. In the Roman era, copper was mined principally on Cyprus, from which the material's name is derived (from Latin ''aes cyprium'', "metal of Cyprus", later corrupted to ''cuprum'').

-Copper material consists of a family of similarly-colored, copper-alloyed metals which are susceptible to [[corrosion]] but not [[rust]]. All forms of copper can be eaten by [[metallivore]]s. In-game, copper items are referred to as "copper", "bronze", or "brass".

-Copper was the first metal to be smelted from sulfide ores, cast into a shape in a mold, and the first to be purposely alloyed with another metal. '''Bronze''' usually refers to copper-tin alloys, but can refer to any alloy of copper such as aluminium bronze, while '''brass''' is an alloy of copper and zinc. Copper used in buildings, usually for roofing, oxidizes to form a green patina of compounds called verdigris. Copper is sometimes used in decorative art, both in its elemental metal form and in compounds as pigments.
