 '''Deep ones''' are new monsters added in the [[Lethe patch]], [[SLASH'EM]] and [[dNetHack]]. There is a large level difference between the deep ones and deepest ones, so once you are experienced enough for deep ones to appear you will likely encounter them in some form until the end game. This also means that if a lower level character manages to [[tame]] a deep one (which is not difficult as their [[monster MR|MR]] is only 10), they will eventually have a level 45 pet deepest one.
