+Teleportation traps can be generated almost anywhere except non-teleport levels.
 Special "vault teleporters" are sometimes generated in a [[closet]] behind an ''[[ad aerarium]]'' engraving. However, such closets might have a [[level teleporter]] instead.

		+	The '''teleportation trap''' is a [[trap]] that can teleport you to a different location on the map.
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	Teleportation traps can be generated almost anywhere.
		+
		+	Special "vault teleporters" are sometimes generated in a [[closet]] behind an ''[[ad aerarium]]'' engraving. However, such closets might have a [[level teleporter]] instead.
		+
		+	==Effects==
		+	These traps can affect you{{refsrc\|src/trap.c\|1302\|nethack=3.6.6}}{{refsrc\|src/teleport.c\|1065\|nethack=3.6.6}} or a monster{{refsrc\|src/trap.c\|2522\|nethack=3.6.6}}{{refsrc\|src/teleport.c\|1306\|nethack=3.6.6}}.
		+
		+	The destination is a random point on the current level, unless it is a [[vault]] teleporter, in which case you are teleported to the vault.
		+
		+	[[Magic resistance]] will prevent you from being teleported. If you want to use the teleporter (for instance, to enter a vault), you may use {{kbd\|ctrl\|t}} to take the teleporter despite magic resistance. A vault teleporter will give you a warning before triggering. If one of the squares in the vault is occupied by a monster or a trap (including the portal to [[Fort Ludios]]) or is otherwise unsafe, the vault teleport may fail, in which case the trap will act as an ordinary teleport trap, albeit single-use.{{refsrc\|src/teleport.c\|746\|nethack=3.6.6}}
		+
		+	==Strategy==
		+	To avoid unintentionally levelporting, you should not blindly walk into a closet without identifying the trap first.
