 In dNetHack, these are incorporated into the mechanics of both monsters: Nitocris has bound an avatar of Nyarlathotep inside her as a method of attaining immortality, and the Hmnyw-Pharaoh–himself an avatar of Nyarlathotep–seeks to free this trapped aspect from within her. If The Spell-warded Wrappings of Nitocris that bind the avatar either fray too significantly and fail to revive Nitocris, or else they are stolen off her, Hmnyw-Pharaoh will then murder Nitocris and cause her to take on the Ghoul-queen form.
