'''Graz'zt''', {{magenta|&}}, is a [[unique]] [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. Graz'zt is a [[strong]] [[humanoid]] [[demon prince]] that is capable of [[flight]], has [[infravision]], can be seen via infravision, can [[see invisible]], will pick up items that he happens across, and can [[follow]] the [[hero]] to other levels if he is adjacent. Graz'zt is [[covetous]] and capable of warping, and desires the [[Amulet of Yendor]], the [[invocation items]], and the [[quest artifact]] of the hero's [[role]].

Seeing Graz'zt directly will permanently inflict the "argent sheen" [[madness]] upon the hero, which reduces the spell damage they deal to monsters, increases the damage taken from male humanoids and centaurs, and causes them to intermittently lose turns by stopping to admire themselves in a [[mirror]] or any other source of [[reflection]]. Monsters with the argent sheen madness will panic, lose turns and occasionally gain [[reflection]] for a turn.

Graz'zt has a seduction claw attack, four weapon attacks, and the ability to cast mage [[dNetHack monster spells|monster spells]] once per round. His seduction attack rolls against the hero's [[charisma]], [[constitution]], and [[intelligence]] - if the check is failed, Graz'zt may steal some of the hero's possessions or force them to wear harmful equipment, and if they pass the check, the following effects occur base on their gender:

* For women, Graz'zt will grant a potential boon, up to and including monster [[genocide]]s or even [[wish]]es.
* For men, an additional check is triggered that rolls against their current charisma - the check used is <code>(ACURR(A_CHA) < rn2(35))</code>, and failing this check causes Graz'zt to attack out of jealousy for heavy damage. Graz'at may also grant a boon and will do so regardless of whether or not he attacks the hero (provided the hero survives).

Graz'zt will then teleport away afterwards, and if he attempts to seduce the hero while the attack is on cooldown, or else the attempt is blocked by chastity, he will then use his normal attack routine similar to [[foocubi]].

Graz'zt possesses [[fire resistance]], [[poison resistance]], [[drain resistance]], and [[death resistance]] like most demons.

Graz'zt is [[poisonous]] to consume, which primarily comes up if he is subjected to [[Ahazu]].

==Generation==
Graz'zt is always generated hostile, and is not a valid form for polymorph.

Graz'zt is one of the four demon princes whose lair can appear as [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Branches/Prince_Levels#Graz'zt, Demon Prince of Tyranny|the second Abyss level]].

Graz'zt is [[Monster starting inventory|always generated with]] will always generate with an [[amulet of reflection]], [[leather armor]], [[high boots]], and the uncursed '''Doomscreamer''': Doomscreamer is a [[chaotic]] and [[intelligent]] [[artifact]] whose [[base item]] is a [[two-handed sword]], and it has +1 [[to-hit]], deals double damage against monsters without [[acid resistance]], and grants acid resistance while wielded.

Graz'zt [[Corpseless|does not leave a corpse]] upon death.

==Strategy==
Grazz't has a tendency to summon hordes of monsters that can quickly overwhelm a hero, so warding the upstairs and preparing an escape route are important considerations as well. While his melee attack is manageable, particularly with [[acid resistance]], his extended seduction attack is extremely dangerous: even with the maximum of 25 charisma there is a significant chance of failure.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
The figure standing before the throne is darkly handsome,
an ebon-skinned man nearly 9 feet tall. His slightly
pointed ears, yellow fangs, and six-fingered hands mark
him for the demon he is.

James Jacobs, and Erik Mona ]
