		+	A '''dust vortex''', {{monsym\|dust vortex}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. The dust vortex is one of two [[vortices]] that are not [[unsolid]], though they share all of the same characteristics as any other vortex.
		+
		+	A dust vortex has an [[engulfing]] attack that deals no damage and instead [[blind]]s the target for a few turns, though like all engulfing attacks this is replaced with a damaging physical "claw" attack if the attack hits during the grace period where a recently-expelled [[hero]] cannot be re-engulfed.{{refsrc\|src/mhitu.c\|319\|nethack=3.6.7}} Dust vortices possess [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistance]] and [[stoning resistance]].
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	Randomly generated dust vortices are always created hostile.
		+
		+	A dust vortex is generated on the [[Plane of Earth]] at level creation.{{refsrc\|dat/endgame.des\|79\|nethack=3.6.7}} A dust vortex is also generated on the [[Plane of Fire]] at level creation.{{refsrc\|dat/endgame.des\|327\|nethack=3.6.7}}
		+
		+	Dust vortices [[Corpseless\|do not leave a corpse]] upon death.
		+
		+	==Description==
		+	Dust vortexes are quite fast at 20 [[speed]], and while they do not normally deal direct damage, their blinding attacks can be incredibly annoying to contend with, and they also possess a decent [[Magic resistance (monster)\|MR score]] of 30—engulfing attack rules also make it possible for a dust vortex to become lethal if the hero is weakened enough.
		+
		+	A hero that can blind themselves (e.g. with a [[blindfold]] or [[towel]]) can usually avoid the worst of a dust vortex's attacks, though they are also tough to track for a blind hero: they are mindless and so cannot be seen with [[telepathy]], which is still useful to avoid attacking pets or peaceful monster while blind, and they may generate at a low enough [[monster level]] that [[warning]] will not detect them. Being engulfed by a dust vortex also makes them easier to destroy, since there is no risk of hitting an unintended target while attacking, and a crafty hero can take advantage of this with a blinding source to train weapons (though with more risk relative to the very slow [[fog cloud]]).
		+
		+	==History==
		+	The dust vortex first appears in [[NetHack 3.0.0]].
