 Wandering pirate generation uses a mechanism separate from ordinary monster generation. While the player [[The Treasury of Proteus#King of the Hill|has the Treasury in open inventory]], there will be a 20% chance that whenever a new monster is randomly generated, it will be replaced with one or more wandering pirates. Wandering pirates will always be of a type appropriate for the theme of that part of the dungeon: damned pirates in [[Gehennom]], githyanki pirates in the [[end game]], skeletal pirates elsewhere.
-The difficulty, attack strength, and armor quality of the type of wandering pirate the player encounters increase with the stage of the game where they appear, but otherwise they are significantly weaker than the monsters that could have been generated otherwise, especially because of their lack of special abilities or attacks. Although they all implicitly want the Treasury, none of the three types is designated as [[covetous]], so they can't teleport to the Pirate carrying the artifact, and none of the monsters have a [[Theft (attack)|thieving]] attack. They will also fight with other monsters and one another.

 By preventing more difficult monsters from being generated, this effect of carrying the Treasury may actually be more helpful than harmful to the player.  Also, in dNetHack they provide a way to acquire more [[bullet]]s for the Pirate's starting [[flintlock]], as anything [[firearms]]-related is otherwise incredibly rare in this variant.
