A witch's familiar, r, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. The witch's familiar is a tiny omnivorous animal that can be seen via infravision like other rodents.

A witch's familiar has a vampiric bite attack and the ability to cast monster spells, and also lends her magical abilities to her master: apprentice witches, regular witches and the coven leader can cast without any spell cooldown while the familiar is present, and a witch that is pacified will pacify the familiar. Witch's familiars are more likely to directly assist the more senior witches.

Generation

Witch's familiars are not randomly generated, and are not a valid form for polymorph.

The witch's familiar is always generated accompanying elder witches and their coven leader in the Temples of the Old Gods within the Neutral Quest, and the witches and coven leader are capable of summoning another if the necessity arises.
