'''Webbing''' is an attack effect used by some monsters in [[dNetHack]]. When these attacks connect with a target, they create a [[web]] trap at the target's location, entangling the target. ("The webbing sticks to you. You're caught!")

While these attacks do no hit point damage, their immobilizing effect can be a serious obstacle to fighting or escaping a difficult situation.

Some examples of monsters that use webbing attacks are high-level [[spider]]s and spider hybrids that try to ensnare you with a [[melee]] kick attack, and web-covered [[drow (monster)#dNethack|drow]] monsters that entangle you [[Passive attack|when you strike them in melee]].

While their attacks are coded differently, the [[edderkop]]'s shadow bolts create web traps at their targets, and the [[Avatar of Lolth]] has a seduction attack which results in webbing.

If you get webbed while [[ride|riding]], you will fall from your steed. Note that if your steed or other pet becomes caught in a newly created web, trying to [[untrap]] it may cause a new web to appear on your tile.

==Strategy==
{{main|Web}}

The same strategies used to deal with the webs generated in vanilla are also applicable to extricating yourself from and cleaning up the webs left by monster attacks.

If you are encountering many monsters with webbing attacks (for example, on a quest), it may be worthwhile to name [[Sting]] and wield it to cut yourself free, at the cost of incrementing the number of artifacts that have been created. High [[strength]] (natural or obtained from [[gauntlets of power]]) can also help you tear free from webs.
