-The '''NetHack encyclopedia''' is [[NetHack]]'s built-in database of information about in-game [[monster]]s, [[object]]s and features.

 Some entries, like that for the [[mind flayer]], are written by the [[DevTeam]] as explicit explanations of what the monster does. Others, such as that for [[lich]], are cryptic, in the form of a literary extract. Be warned that these are not always an accurate guide to NetHack's version of the monster/object.
