A '''pirate''' is a [[player monster]] added in the [[Pirate|Pirate patch]], corresponding to the Convict [[role]].
Like other player monsters, pirates are never randomly generated and are thus rarely seen.
No pirates are normally found outside the [[Astral Plane]], where they may appear among the hostile player monsters generated there<ref>{{function|mplayer.c|create_mplayers}}</ref>.

Reading a cursed [[scroll of genocide]] as a Pirate while [[confused]] will summon a number of pirate monsters, although they won't have their usual equipment. Using [[undead turning]] on the corpse or [[stone to flesh]] on the statue of a dead pirate left on a [[bones level]] will revive the corpse or statue as a player monster. Pirate corpses will also be found in the [[Valley of the Dead]]{{refsrc|gehennom.des|61}}, and a statue of a pirate may appear on [[Medusa's Island]]{{refsrc|sp_lev.c|1004|comment= the code is very cryptic but fortunately has comments}}.

Most pirates encountered in the main dungeon will turn out to be [[doppelganger]]s, which may temporarily assume the form of a pirate.

{{todo|Check source for any differences in pirate player monster starting equipment}}

A pirate on the Astral Plane will carry either a [[long sword]] (50%) or a randomly chosen [[melee]] weapon (50%). The [[weapon]]'s [[enchantment]] will be random between +4 and +8, and it will be either [[erodeproof]] or [[greased]] (but not both) with 33.3% probability each. There is a 50% chance that the weapon will be made into an [[artifact]] of the same type, if possible.

Like other player monsters on the Astral Plane, pirates will also be equipped with [[d notation|1d3]] random [[offensive item]]s, 1d3 random [[defensive item]]s and 1d3 random [[miscellaneous item]]s, as well as a randomly generated [[ascension kit]] containing [[dragon scale mail]] and various other pieces of [[armor]] (as well as a [[cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor]], some [[gold]] and other items).
