A '''damned pirate''', {{white|&}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SpliceHack]]. The skeletal pirate is a type of [[strong]], [[humanoid]] [[Demon (monster class)|demon]] being that is a stronger relative of the [[skeletal pirate]], but is a [[major demon]] rather than being undead: it is [[unbreathing]] and [[mindless]] like skeletal pirates, has [[infravision]], displays a tendency to [[wander]] while moving, and will [[collect items]] that it comes across. Like other pirate monsters, skeletal pirates have a mutual [[grudge]] with [[mercenaries]], and they will attack a Pirate [[hero]] that has [[The Treasury of Proteus (Pirate patch)|The Treasury of Proteus]] in their open inventory.

Damned pirates have a single [[weapon attack]], and possess [[fire resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistance]], [[stoning resistance]], [[death resistance]], and [[drain resistance]]. They are capable of flanking the hero.

[[Chatting]] to a damned pirate will freeze the hero in place for a few turns regardless of hostility, and [[free action]] will not prevent this.

==Generation==
Damned pirates are not randomly generated, likely due to an error in implementing the patch. and normally-generated skeletal pirates are always created hostile. They are not a valid genocide target.

For a Pirate hero that has their [[quest artifact]] in open inventory and is in [[Gehennom (SpliceHack)|Gehennom]], {{frac|5}} of randomly-generated monsters will be small [[group]]s of demonic pirates.

Some damned pirates are generated on the [[Pirate quest]] during level creation: one is placed randomly on the locate level, one each is placed on the lower filler levels, and 3 are placed randomly on the goal level.

Damned pirates are [[generated with]] a cursed [[scimitar]] and cursed [[Erosion|burnt]] [[leather armor]], and like other pirate monsters they have a {{frac|2}} chance of generating with a [[Frag grenade (SLASH'EM)|frag grenade]].

Damned pirates [[Corpseless|do not leave a corpse]] upon death.

==History==
The damned pirate first appears in [[User:Chris|ChrisANG's]] Pirate role [[patch]].

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
These memories were bought with the lives of good men
A price that I paid without scruple
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
And swagger from brothel to brothel

And for what?
It's been many years
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
And for what?
I've blood on my hands
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
And If I could go back and make my amends
I'd make all those mistakes again
I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend!
