 ==Teleporting monsters==
+Monsters may teleport themselves in several ways: randomly as part of their movement, after they steal something from you (usually a [[Nymph (monster class)|nymph]] using their [[item theft]] or [[seduction theft]] attacks), or using a teleport item to escape from you. You can also teleport them by zapping them with a [[wand of teleportation]] or the {{+ of|teleport away}} spell. Interestingly, when you teleport a monster, it ignores whether you are on a [[non-teleport level]].
 When a monster is teleported, it is placed on a random square on the level that is considered safe for it to occupy. If the monster is a [[tengu]] teleporting under its own power, it teleports next to you 50% of the time unless it has less than 7 HP. If the monster is a [[Rider]] and you are trying to teleport it, it will be placed next to you {{frac|12|13}} of the time.
