The '''million-arm weapon''', also known as '''million-arm''' or '''Deva arms''', is an [[attack type]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]], and it is somewhat associated with the [[Deva (dNetHack)|deva]] [[monster]]s as implied by one of its names and its flag. The attack type is defined by the '''<tt>AT_DEVA</tt>''' flag within <tt>monattk.h</tt> in the source code.

==Description==
The "million-arm" attack behaves as a normal attack with a [[weapon]] does in several aspects: a monster that has a million-arm weapon attack will perform the attack with any wielded weapons they have available, or use their bare hands (or equivalent extremity) with any worn [[gloves]] if they do not have a compatible weapon to wield—the attack does normal [[physical damage]] and the damage added by the wielded weapon, plus any damage specified by the [[damage type]] for the attack itself. The primary difference is that if a million-arm weapon attack hits, the monster will repeat it until they either miss or the target is killed.

Only four monsters have "million-arm" attacks, including a single Deva monster:

* {{orange|q}} [[Blessed (monster)|blessed]] (physical)
* {{brightmagenta|9}} [[Mahadeva]] (physical)
* {{brightmagenta|&}} [[ancient of blessings]] ([[disenchantment]])
* {{gray|U}} [[many-taloned thing]] (physical)

Million-arm attacks are valid attack types for randomized [[Horror (dNetHack)|horrors]].
