The '''Avatar of Lolth''', {{magenta|&}}, is a [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. She is a [[demon prince]]ss that represents the goddess [[Lolth (dNetHack)|Lolth]]: she is [[strong]], can [[see invisible]], has [[infravision]], can be seen via infravision, will seek out and pick up various items, and can [[follow]] the [[hero]] to other levels if she is adjacent. Lolth's avatar is [[covetous]] and capable of warping, and desires the [[Amulet of Yendor]], the [[invocation items]], and the [[quest artifact]] of the hero's [[role]] - she cannot be made [[tame]], and will turn [[traitor]] if somehow tamed.
  
She is generated with the artifact "Scourge of Lolth" and well-enchanted armor.

The Avatar of Lolth's attacks consist of the following:
 +
* A unique seduction attack that rolls against the hero's [[charisma]] and [[wisdom]] - failing this check results in her performing a poisonous bite that causes an [[instadeath]] if the hero lacks [[poison resistance]], and using a [[level drain]]ing bite otherwise.

 +
* A weapon attack and offhand weapon attack, which has a {{frac|2}} chance of being replaced with a set of eight "marilith-arm" attacks on the first attack of the turn. The marilith-arm attacks consist of the same weapon attack and offhand attack (4d8 each), followed by two 2d8 weapon attacks using the third and fourth weapons in the Avatar's inventory, then four 1d8 weapon attacks using the fifth-to-eighth weapons in her inventory.
 +
* A touch attack that [[Intrinsic theft|steals]] [[intrinsic]]s similar to a [[gremlin]].
 +
* An 0d8 clerical [[dNetHack monster spells|monster spell]] - if Lolth is the chaotic goddess of the hero's pantheon, the Avatar's spellcasting will increment her anger by one and cause her to [[smite]] them, and otherwise the Avatar uses the default set of clerical spells available to her.
  
She uses a custom seduction attack that rolls against your CHA and INT. Failing this check results in her either doing a poisonous bite that will instakill an unresistant player, or a level-draining bite. Passing the check results in a number of powerful rewards, including granting a wish to the player or giving intrinsic to-hit and damage bonuses.
+
The Avatar of Lolth possesses poison resistance and [[acid resistance]].
  
Her spellcasting is special for players who have the droven pantheon and thus have Lolth as their chaotic god. In this case, the Avatar of Lolth's spellcasting angers Lolth, who may then smite you.

Revision as of 05:27, 3 July 2024

The Avatar of Lolth, &, is a monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. She is a demon princess that represents the goddess Lolth: she is strong, can see invisible, has infravision, can be seen via infravision, will seek out and pick up various items, and can follow the hero to other levels if she is adjacent. Lolth's avatar is covetous and capable of warping, and desires the Amulet of Yendor, the invocation items, and the quest artifact of the hero's role - she cannot be made tame, and will turn traitor if somehow tamed.

The Avatar of Lolth's attacks consist of the following:

  • A unique seduction attack that rolls against the hero's charisma and wisdom - failing this check results in her performing a poisonous bite that causes an instadeath if the hero lacks poison resistance, and using a level draining bite otherwise. Passing the check results in a number of powerful rewards, including intrinsic to-hit and damage bonuses or even granting a wish.
  • A weapon attack and offhand weapon attack, which has a 12 chance of being replaced with a set of eight "marilith-arm" attacks on the first attack of the turn. The marilith-arm attacks consist of the same weapon attack and offhand attack (4d8 each), followed by two 2d8 weapon attacks using the third and fourth weapons in the Avatar's inventory, then four 1d8 weapon attacks using the fifth-to-eighth weapons in her inventory.
  • A touch attack that steals intrinsics similar to a gremlin.
  • An 0d8 clerical monster spell - if Lolth is the chaotic goddess of the hero's pantheon, the Avatar's spellcasting will increment her anger by one and cause her to smite them, and otherwise the Avatar uses the default set of clerical spells available to her.

The Avatar of Lolth possesses poison resistance and acid resistance.

Generation

The Avatar of Lolth is not a valid form for polymorph. She is intended to be generated peaceful only if the character is piously aligned, and is either a drow that worships Lolth or a hedrow that worships Lolth, Vhaeraun, Keptolo, or Pen'a - a bug in the code currently interferes with this.

The Avatar of Lolth is one of the four demons whose lair has a 14 chance of appearing as the second Abyss level. She is normally generated at the center of her lair, the Demonweb, where she meditates atop her throne.

The Avatar of Lolth is always generated with the following items: blessed +7 crystal plate mail fitted to her form and engraved with Lolth's symbol; blessed fixed +5 orihalcyon gauntlets; a blessed fireproof +5 droven cloak; a blessed fixed +5 glass droven helm; four blessed acrid +2 droven short swords; 2 blessed acrid +4 droven short swords; a blessed acrid +6 obsidian elven short sword; and the blessed fixed +8 Scourge of Lolth.
