&lt;br /&gt;
A '''parasite''' is a type of [[veggy]] [[comestible]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Generation==&lt;br /&gt;
Parasites are not randomly generated. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They cannot be stocked in [[delicatessen]] and are not generated as part of level creation.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Corpse]]s that rot away may leave behind a parasite (see {{sa|Rotting|rotting}}).&lt;br /&gt;
Using a [[dissection kit]] on a non-[[mindless]], non-[[animal]] corpse that is less than 50 turns old has a {{frac|10}} chance of creating {{rn1|2|1}} parasites, generated on the current square.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Eating]] a parasite grants 25 [[nutrition]] and takes one turn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rotting===&lt;br /&gt;
Corpses that rot away naturally for a [[hero]] that has the [[Insight#Insight merchants|weed]] thought slotted and at least 27 [[insight]], or a [[neutral]] [[Undead Hunter]] who has pierced [[Insight#The Veil|the veil]], may leave behind a parasite on the square they decomposed:&lt;br /&gt;
* {{frac|100}} of the time if they are a neutral Undead Hunter who has pierced the veil and has [[trephination kit|removed]] their starting weed thought.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{frac|66}} of the time if they currently have the weed thought active.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{frac|50}} of the time if they currently have the eye thought active.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{frac|33}} of the time if they currently have both the weed and eye thought active.&lt;br /&gt;
