The '''nessian pit fiend''' is a [[demon]] in [[dNetHack]].

It is a more powerful version of the [[pit fiend]] and has most of the same attacks. In [[dNetHack]] the regular pit fiend's second weapon attack is replaced with a claw attack, and instead of a [[grabbing attack]] it has a [[Monster spell|spellcasting]] attack and a [[poisonous]] bite that reduces [[strength]]. In addition to these, the nessian pit fiend has a [[passive attack]] that deals [[fire]] damage to anyone who attacks it in melee.

Nessian pit fiends get their name from appearing, along with a number of lesser pit fiends, in [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Branches/Nessus|Nessus]], at the court of [[Asmodeus]]. A single nessian pit fiend (dubbed a "traitor pit fiend") also appears in the court of [[Demogorgon]].

Nessian pit fiends [[fly]], so they are not likely to end up in any [[pit]]s.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
The great horns, bat-like wings,
serpentine tail, and cloven-hoofed feet are identical to
the terror of the pit. Yet, this creature towers 20 feet in
height. Accompanying the flames that lick its translucent
flesh is a darkness that ripples the surrounding air. The
blood red form is covered in muscles and the burning,
white eyes glare from a shadowy face.
