 A '''death knight''', {{brightcyan|L}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. The death knight is a form of skeletal [[humanoid]] [[Lich (monster class)|lich]] that is [[strong]], has [[Regeneration (property)|enhanced regeneration]], has [[infravision]], and they will pick up [[weapon]]s, [[magical item]]s and other objects that they come across. A death knight is [[covetous]] and capable of warping, and desires the [[Amulet of Yendor]], the [[Book of the Dead]] and the other [[invocation items]], and the [[quest artifact]] of the [[hero]]'s current [[role]]. Death knights have 14 points of natural [[AC]] and 7 points of natural [[DR]].
-Death knights have two weapon attacks that deal [[physical damage]], as well as a [[touch attack]] that can deal [[cold]] damage similar to other liches. Death knights possess [[fire resistance]], [[cold resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], and [[poison resistance]], along with [[drain resistance]] and [[death resistance]] like other [[undead]]. Death knights resist [[slashing]] and [[piercing]] damage, boast expert prowess in martial combat, gain a full [[base attack bonus]] of +1 [[to-hit]] per [[monster level]], and also gain a hit dice-based scaling bonus for physical damage.

 Death knights are [[poisonous]] to eat and can grant fire resistance or cold resistance when eaten, which primarily comes up if they are subjected to the [[Spirits (dNetHack)|spirit]] [[Ahazu]] (whose Abduction ability ignores the detrimental effects of eaten monsters).
