A '''vegepygmy shaman''', {{brightblue|g}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. The vegepygmy shaman is a small [[Gremlin (monster class)|gremlin-like]] [[humanoid]] that is a form of [[extra-terrestrial]] [[Plant (monster attribute)|plant]] creature like the standard [[vegepygmy]]: vegepygmy shamans are both [[carnivorous]] and [[metallivorous]]; they can see and sense other monsters via [[telepathy]], [[earthsense]] and [[infravision]]; they have a tendency to [[wander]] while moving; and they will pick up weapons, armor and other items that they come across. Vegepygmy shamans have 3 points of natural [[AC]] and 4 points of natural [[DR]]. A vegepygmy shaman's [[corpse]] has a chance of [[reviving]] each turn, and has a {{frac|10}} chance of becoming a [[rusty gray mold]] instead of remaining a vegepygmy shaman.

Vegepygmy shamans have four attacks: a weapon attack that can infect the skin of targets with [[gray mold spores]]; a [[touch attack]] that deals damage and can [[rust]] metallic armor; the ability to cast one [[dNetHack monster spells|mage monster spell]] during each turn; and a [[passive attack]] that triggers on death, leaving behind clouds of gray mold spores that can infect whoever stands inside them with 1-2 spores on the skin and/or in their respiratory system each turn. Vegepygmy shamans are skilled in martial combat, and possess [[shock resistance]] and [[poison resistance]] along with a [[vulnerability]] to [[acid]].

A vegepygmy shaman is [[poisonous]] to consume, and [[eating]] a vegepygmy shaman corpse or [[tin]] causes [[hallucination]] upon finishing the meal.

A vegepygmy shaman can be [[Ward (dNetHack)|warded]] by an [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Elder Elemental Eye|Elder Elemental Eye]] or [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Elder Sign|Elder Sign]] at any level of reinforcement.

==Generation==
Vegepygmy shamans are not randomly generated normally. They are not a valid genocide target.

[[Gray fungal tower]]s have a {{frac|50}} chance of generating a vegepygmy shaman nearby on each global turn, which does not respect [[extinction]]. Vegepygmy corpses have a {{frac|10}} chance of [[reviving]] and becoming vegepygmy shamans. The corpse of a magical monster that is killed by gray mold infection or killed while infected this way can arise as a vegepygmy shaman.

Three vegepygmy shamans are placed randomly on the [[Kensei quest]] locate level during level creation.

A hero that either dies of a gray mold infection or is killed while infected with gray mold and leaves [[bones]] will arise as a vegepygmy shaman if they were of a [[race]] and/or [[role]] that [[cast]] spells using the [[wisdom]] [[attribute]].
