 Randomly generated player monsters will be hostile or peaceful to the hero entirely depending on their race, role and alignment: a chaotic gnomish [[Wizard]] may find the local dwarven archeologist to be peaceful, but will also find orcish barbarians distinctly unwelcoming.

−	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[Player monster#EvilHack]]	+	In [[EvilHack]], '''[[player monster]]s''' are a far more frequent sight in the main dungeon and its branches compared to ''[[NetHack]]'', where a mass majority of them are encountered on the Astral Plane.
		+
		+	Player monsters are defined separately from how the actual player is defined in <tt>monst.c</tt>, and are given hit dice, [[monster difficulty]] and [[monster level]] values that roughly match those of the actual [[hero]] at the time of generation. They are also [[racial monster]]s, and will have intrinsics and abilities roughly matching a hero of the same [[race]] and [[role]] as them: for example, a priest or wizard will cast spells, while a rogue can steal items, and knights can use the same [[jumping]] ability as a [[Knight]] hero.
		+
		+	==List of player monsters==
		+	The following player monsters correspond to each of the available roles, including different-gendered titles:
		+
		+	* {{monsymlink\|archeologist\|variant=EvilHack monster}}
		+	* {{monsymlink\|barbarian\|variant=EvilHack monster}}
		+	* {{monsymlink\|caveman\|variant=EvilHack monster}}
		+	* {{monsymlink\|convict\|variant=EvilHack monster}}

		+	* {{monsymlink\|valkyrie\|variant=EvilHack monster}}
		+	* {{monsymlink\|wizard\|variant=EvilHack monster}}
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	Randomly generated player monsters will be hostile or peaceful to the hero entirely depending on their race, role and alignment: a chaotic gnomish [[Wizard]] may find the local dwarven archeologist to be peaceful, but will also find orcish barbarians distinctly unwelcoming.
		+
		+	===Inventory===
		+	The initial inventory of a player monster varies heavily with their race, role and monster level.
		+
		+	===Steeds===
		+	Like other monsters in EvilHack, some player monsters can generate [[riding]] upon steeds—this is primarily the domain of knights, who will generate riding a [[horse]] at level 10 or a [[warhorse]] at level 20.
		+
		+	==Other characteristics==
		+	All player monsters that are hostile to the hero covet the [[Amulet of Yendor]], and can steal it from the hero with their melee attacks. A player monster that obtains the Amulet of Yendor in some manner while on the Astral Plane will attempt to sacrifice it at the high [[altar]] of their [[god]]—success will end the game in a loss for the hero.
