<p>establish</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Desiccation''' is a [[damage type]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], and it uses the &lt;tt&gt;'''AD_DESC'''&lt;/tt&gt; damage type flag.<br /> <br /> Attacks that inflict dessication damage drain the moisture from the body of a target to restore the attacker's HP. Monsters that are made of water or moisture, such as the [[water elemental]] and the [[daughter of Naunet]], will take double damage from desiccation attacks and similar abilities.<br /> <br /> The &quot;Horrid Wilting&quot; active power of the [[Spirits (dNetHack)|spirit]] [[Iris]] inflicts desiccation damage on monsters using five damage dice with sizes equal to the [[hero]]'s spirit dice (i.e. 5dX), and deals doubled damage to monsters made of water or moisture.<br /> {{stub}}<br /> {{variant-343}}<br /> [[Category:dNetHack damage types]]<br /> [[Category:notdNetHack damage types]]<br /> [[Category:notnotdNetHack damage types]]</div>
