 Generally, a '''spoiler''' is anything which reveals an ending or ruins a surprise. In the ''[[NetHack]]'' sense, a spoiler is a file documenting the behaviour of the game in great detail. Hundreds of different spoilers exist, from tables of weapons and monsters, to [[FAQ]]s, to comprehensive guides. Many are now out of date; be sure to check which version of NetHack the spoiler was written for.
