'''The Shard from Morgoth's Crown''' is an [[artifact]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It is [[chaotic]] and [[intelligent]], and it appears as a '''twisted band of jagged iron''': its [[base item]] is a [[ring]] with the [[randomized appearance]] of an "iron ring", and if the iron ring is a [[ring of polymorph]] in the current game, then it will appear as a twisted ring instead.

==Description==
While carried, The Shard from Morgoth's Crown grants [[magic resistance]], and a [[hero]] that [[puts on]] the ring will also gain [[shock resistance]] and the usual effects of the ring with that appearance, along with several other bonuses: +6 to all attribute scores while worn (which bypasses racial maximums and has a separate maximum of 25), a +6 [[AC]] bonus, a +3 [[DR]] bonus to all slots (which is a total of +6 for the hero's head and hands), +6 to the maximum amount of [[pets]] a hero can keep tamed, and +1d9 corrupted holy damage to all attacks against holy-hating and unholy-hating monsters (though it will only display messages for [[unarmed]] attacks).
