A '''droven helm''' is a type of [[helm]] that appears in [[dNetHack]] and [[notdNetHack]]. It is always made of [[shadowsteel]], and appears as a '''spider-shaped helm''' when [[identification|unidentified]].

==Generation==
The droven helm is not randomly generated.

==Description==
While worn, a droven helm grants 2 base [[AC]] and 2 [[DR]]. As shadowsteel armor, a droven helm has a chance of evaporating in lit squares, with the chance reduced if the wearer has MC3 or [[invisibility]] - [[erodeproof]]ed droven helms will repair partial evaporation while the wearer remains in an unlit square.
