A '''grotesque peeper''', {{brightgreen|g}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. The grotesque peeper is an [[insight]] monster that is a medium-sized and [[Gremlin (monster class)|gremlin-like]] [[humanoid]]: they are [[stong]], [[unbreathing]] and [[thick-skinned]], and can see perfectly in the light and dark via [[extramission]]. Seeing a grotesque peeper can lower the [[hero]]'s [[sanity]] and raise their insight. Grotesque peepers have 14 points of natural [[AC]], as well as 6 points of natural [[DR]] for every slot minus the head. They cannot be made [[tame]].

Grotesque peepers have a [[Drain life (monster attack)|life-draining]] single-target [[gaze attack]], a pair of [[claw attack]]s with the primary and off-hand, and a [[bite attack]], and have a full [[base attack bonus]] of +1 [[to-hit]] per [[monster level]]. They possess [[stoning resistance]] and also resist blunt damage.

Grotesque peepers can be [[Ward (dNetHack)|warded]] by a [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Hamsa|hamsa]] or by an [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Elder Sign|Elder Sign]] at any level of reinforcement.

==Generation==
Grotesque peepers are not randomly generated, and are normally created peaceful. They are not a valid polymorph form or genocide target.
