Just as in real life, the NetHack world goes through several '''phases of the moon'''. Probably unlike real life, these phases have a real effect on gameplay.

The moon phase is determined at the start of the game; if you save and restart the game will remain in the phase it was when you first started. The moon phases are determined by your system clock. Technically it is possible to change the clock to get a desired moon phase, but this is considered [[cheating]].

During a full moon:
*Your base [[luck]] is increased by one.
*[[Werecreature]]s, especially at night, will usually be in their animal form.
*[[Dog]]s will howl at night when #[[chat]]ted to.
*You have a chance of not being able to tame dogs at night.

During a new moon:
*Contrary to popular belief, luck is not decreased.
*If a [[cockatrice]] uses its hissing attack and you have no [[lizard]] [[corpse]], you will always start turning into stone, rather than having a 1-in-10 chance.
