 A '''hole''' is a [[trap]], but it is always visible. It shows as {{brown|^}} or [[image:hole.png]] on the screen. A hole causes you, affected monsters, and objects to fall through at least to the next level. A [[trapdoor]] is very similar to a hole.

 ===Sokoban===
 Holes in [[Sokoban]], only possible on levels 2, 3 or 4, are special. These holes have air currents that will pull you into them even if you are [[flying]], [[jumping]] or [[levitation|levitating]] over them.  The only way to circumvent a hole in Sokoban without filling it with a boulder is to throw an [[punishment|heavy iron ball (chained to you)]] over the hole. This carries a [[Luck]] penalty.

 ==Generation==
-Some dungeon levels are made of hard material of which the floor is undiggable, with a message to that effect. Some of these levels will, however, let you create a pit but not a hole.
+Holes are much less likely to be randomly generated than other eligible types. Only 1 in 7 attempts to randomly place a hole will succeed. Holes cannot be randomly generated on levels with non-diggable floors, such as the [[vibrating square]] level or the [[Castle]]. If the floor is non-diggable, the hole trap is replaced with a falling rock trap. Holes cannot be generated beneath a boulder. Unlike other traps, holes are always generated visible.
