Cathartes: probably a vanishingly rare case, but an engulfer being killed by wide-angle disintegration should be possible in 3.7

 A '''wide-angle disintegration beam''' is the most powerful attack that an angry [[god]] can make against you.
-When you anger a god, the god will sometimes strike you with a lightning bolt from the heavens (see [[Anger#Smiting]]). This attack would normally kill an adventurer outright. However, if you have [[shock resistance]], [[reflection]], [[life saving]], or are engulfed by a monster, you will survive the bolt. If this occurs, the god will follow up with a wide-angle disintegration beam.{{refsrc|pray.c|494}}

 If you are still engulfed, the disintegration beam will hit the engulfing monster instead. This occurs when the monster is shock resistant. In vanilla NetHack, the only engulfing monsters with shock resistance are [[energy vortex|energy vortices]], which are also disintegration-resistant, so the disintegration beam will have no effect.

 Otherwise, the beam will strike you. First, your shield, cloak, and body armor will be disintegrated, unless they provide reflection or disintegration resistance. Then, if you are wearing a shirt and no body armor or cloak, it will be disintegrated (a shirt worn under [[silver dragon scale mail]], for example, would not be disintegrated).

 If you do not possess [[disintegration resistance]] the beam will then kill you outright, though you will survive if you have life saving. Note that reflection will ''not'' save you, though it might save some of your armor as described above.
