 A '''red mold''', {{monsym|red mold}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. The red mold is a type of [[mold]] that has an affinity to [[Fire (element)|fire]], and like most molds it is [[sessile]] and lacks limbs, eyes or a head.

		+	==Strategy==
		+	Red molds are not threatening to a [[hero]] that has fire resistance, and even heroes without the property can avoid [[YASD]] against one by remaining attentive. Any form of [[ranged attack]] can dispose of a red mold easily; while [[pet]]s are also capable of handling them, some early pets may have trouble dealing enough damage to outpace the mold's passive damage.
