'''Sewage''', referred to in game as a '''pool of raw sewage''', is a [[dungeon feature]] that appears in [[NetHack Fourk]], [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]].

==Generation==
===EvilHack===
In the [[Gnomish Mines]], each level that has a river created on its map has roughly a 50% chance of the river being made of sewage.

[[Giant cockroach]]es and [[giant leech]]es are only randomly generated on levels with raw sewage at level creation.

==Description==
Sewage functions similarly to [[shallow water]], allowing characters and monsters to walk through without falling in, though some pieces of worn armor will be subjected to [[rust]]ing. In addition, the character's movement is slowed temporarily unless one of the following applies:

* The character has [[flight]], [[levitation]] or [[water walking]].
* The character is a [[Tortle (monster attribute)|tortle]] of any kind.
* The character is either wearing blue or white [[dragon-scaled armor]]. Blue-scaled armor prevents slowing effects, while white-scaled armor freezes sewage, water and lava underfoot.

[[Dipping]] any item into a pool of raw sewage has a chance of the item being stolen by an unknown creature and lost forever - this will not occur with wearable items that are cursed and welded to the character, [[heavy iron ball]]s that are [[Punishment|chained to the character]], or any indestructible items.

 In Hack'EM, rivers of sewage are much more likely to occur in the Mines, and the Sewers of Waterdeep map for Mines' End may still generate.
