The '''parasitized embraced alider''', {{gray|C}}, is a [[unique]] [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. She is a [[large]] [[Centaur (monster class)|centaur-like]] [[humanoid]] being that is the result of an [[alider]] from the [[Anachrononaut quest]] being overtaken by a [[parasitic master mind flayer]], while being rendered [[stationary]] and unable to use her limbs or hands by the influence of the [[Great Web]]. Only [[Android]]s will encounter this specific alider in her captive state.

The parasitized embraced alider is a hybrid of [[Spider (monster attribute)|arachnid]], [[Elf (monster attribute)|elf]], [[demihuman]], [[minion]], and [[primordial]], with the lattermost trait inherited from the parasite controlling her, and is an [[overlord]] to her kind. Seeing the parasitized embraced alider will raise a hero's [[insight]] (although all Androids start the game with the veil lifted), and she cannot be made [[tame]]. The parasitized embraced alider is [[strong]], has [[darksight]] and [[telepathy]], is capable of tracking the hero via sight and scent, and can be seen via [[infravision]]—she is also capable of picking up [[magical item]]s and other objects, but will not do so normally due to being stationary. She has 18 points of [[AC]] and 8 points of natural [[DR]] in the special categories.

The parasitized embraced alider has two [[intelligence-draining]] attacks that can reach targets within a certain radius of her, a [[tentacle attack]] that also inflicts intelligence drain, the ability to cast one clerical [[dNetHack monster spells|monster spell]] with no cooldown during each of her turns, and a [[passive attack]] that ensnares the attacker in [[webbing]]. She has expert prowess in martial combat and a full [[base attack bonus]] of +1 [[to-hit]] per [[Monster level|level]]. The parasitized embraced alider possesses [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistance]], [[fire resistance]], [[cold resistance]], [[disintegration resistance]], and [[shock resistance]], and has weaknesses to holy and unholy damage as well as [[silver]] and [[iron]].

Consuming the parasitized embraced alider grants [[Temporary intrinsic|permanent sleep resistance]], which primarily comes up if she is subjected to [[Ahazu]].

The parasitized embraced alider can be [[Ward (dNetHack)|warded]] by a fully-reinforced [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Elder Sign|Elder Sign]] or a sevenfold [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Elder Elemental Eye|Elder Elemental Eye]].

==Generation==
The parasitized embraced alider is always generated hostile. She is not a valid polymorph form or genocide target, and [[figurine]]s or [[statue]]s of her cannot be generated or wished for.

The parasitized embraced alider is generated on the [[Android quest]] home level, where she is placed in the former entrance of the Last Bastion base during level creation.

-The parasitized embraced alider will always leave behind a special [[death drop]] consisting of an alider [[corpse]], a parasitic master mind flayer corpse, and a [[droven cloak]]. [[Reviving]] this alider corpse on its own will produce a [[tame]] alider that is [[loyal]], [[crazed]] and [[doubt-filled]], with the [[Great Web]] template applied and the minimum possible total HP value for her level.
