-Gugs are decently hard-hitting and move at a [[speed]] of 18, making gug swarms incredibly dangerous in the mid-game even for fast characters - being paralyzed and then surrounded by a group of gugs is a painful source of potential deaths.

 Since gugs are not mindless, [[telepathy]] can and should be used to scan for them when possible: a {{black|Z}} that shows up via telepathy can either be a gug, a [[ghoul mage]] or a [[ghoul queen]], the latter two of which are quite dangerous in their own right.

@@ Line 117: / Line 117: @@
 Gugs are man-eating creatures that originate from ''The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath'', a novella by [[H.P. Lovecraft]] that he completed a draft of in 1927; the draft unrevised and unpublished in his lifetime, and was first published posthumously by Arkham House in 1943. It is both the longest of the stories in his [[wikipedia:Dream Cycle|''Dream Cycle'' series]], and the longest Lovecraft work to feature Randolph Carter, a recurring protagonist within his stories.
-As described by the [[encyclopedia]] entry used in dNetHack, gugs are large black-furred beasts with fanged, vertically-opening jaws that reach an estimated sixteen feet in height and weigh nearly 2,000 pounds. Their two eyes protrude from either side of their head, and their limbs split at the elbows, terminating in four separate forepaws. Gugs dwell in the underworld of the Dreamlands and worship the Great Ones, the gods of Earth who reside in Kadath.

 In dNetHack, the '''gug''', {{magenta|Y}}, is instead a form of [[apelike creature]]. It possesses many of the same traits as the gugs of SLASH'EM, though it only has cold resistance, and it has six attacks as opposed to their four - gugs have one weapon attack, two claw attacks, a [[grabbing attack]], a [[paralyzing]] bite, and a third claw attack that can steal items.
-Due to their giant size, gugs can break through locked [[doors]], and their anatomy allows them to wield any weapon as one-handed. Seeing a gug or being adjacent to one that you did not see previously inflicts [[sanity]] loss and confers a point of [[insight]]; killing a gug also raises your insight.
