 * In [[NetHack 3.2.3]] and prior versions, spell-casting was closer to a "Vancian" system. Starting with [[NetHack 3.3.0]], spell-casting is based on a combination of magical energy points and occasional re-memorization of spells.

-The following is a non-exhaustive list of monsters from various ''Dungeons & Dragons'' media that appear in ''NetHack'', arranged roughly in order of monster class; some monsters derived from other works of fantasy and related fiction (e.g., the [[Orc (monster class)|orcs]] of [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]) may not be included. ''NetHack'' has generally adapted monsters directly from the Monster Manuals of the early editions, with adjustments made to their AC and hit dice accordingly.

-'''''Dungeons & Dragons''''' (or '''''D&D''''' for short) was the first modern tabletop roleplaying game, co-created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. The original edition was published in 1974, and ''[[NetHack]]'' draws from it a huge number of [[monster]]s, [[item]]s and concepts, as well as the turn-based probabilistic gameplay style - core game concepts taken into ''NetHack'' from ''D&D'' include [[hit points]], [[armor class]], the six basic [[attribute]]s, and [[alignment]]. While ''NetHack'' draws from many, many sources, the various editions of ''D&D'' may well have been the game's biggest single influence.
