A '''droven spear''' is a type of [[weapon]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It is a [[stackable]] weapon that is [[two-handed]] for medium-sized characters - it can be [[wield]]ed in melee and [[thrown]], and uses the [[spear]] [[skill]]. It is made of [[obsidian]], and appears as a '''long spear''' when [[Identification|unidentified]].

==Generation==
Droven spears are not randomly generated.

[[Houseless drow]] have a {{frac|6}} chance of [[Monster starting inventory|generating with]] a droven spear. [[Y-cultist fighter]]s and other [[Drow (monster attribute)|drow]] monsters that do not have a defined starting inventory have an effective {{frac|12}} chance of generating with a droven spear.

Droven spears are generated in a few [[quest]] branches:

* In the [[Drow Noble quest]], three droven spears are randomly generated on the locate level at level creation, and one is randomly generated on each of the lower filler levels at level creation.
* In the [[Hedrow Noble quest]], one droven spear each is generated on the home level, locate level and each of the lower filler levels at level creation.
* In the [[Hedrow shared quest]], one droven spear is generated on the upper filler level at level creation.
* In the [[Anachrononaut quest]] and [[Android quest]], a droven spear is randomly generated on each of the lower filler levels at level creation.
