Furey: Copy edit. Use refsrc for refs. Don't reference things that are covered in other articles; just link to them. (That accounts for most of the refs.) Mark this {{nethack-367}}. Still a stub, if someone wants to put sections in.

Any item made of [[iron]], [[copper]], [[silver]], [[gold]], [[platinum]], [[mithril]] or any other [[metal]] is considered '''metallic'''.<ref>https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6/include/objclass.h#L82</ref>

Wearing metallic armor can make it [[Spellcasting#Calculating_spell_success_rate|more difficult to cast spells]]<ref>https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6/src/spell.c#L1712</ref>. However, wearing a metallic helmet can reduce the damage you take from a falling [[falling rock trap|rock]]<ref>https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6/src/trap.c#L1037</ref>, [[iron ball]]<ref>https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6/src/ball.c#L56</ref>, [[piercer]]<ref>https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6/src/hack.c#L2253</ref> or [[boulder]]<ref>https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6/src/read.c#L1752</ref>. Monsters can also protect themselves from falling boulders by wearing metallic helmets<ref>https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6/src/read.c#L1806</ref>

A [[metallivore]] can eat any metallic item<ref>https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6/src/dog.c#L844</ref>
