The Adamach, ", is a monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack.

Origin and Lore
Adamach is original to dNetHack. The name "Adamach" is a pun on Adam (the first man) and Adamantine (the hard fantasy metal), and topped off by the Rilmani naming scheme.
Adamach is the legendary first Rilmani, who supposedly defeated and sealed away either Cthulhu in particular, or perhaps the Great Old Ones in general. Just as the Rilmani are based on metal salts, Adamach is a "salt" of reality and unreality, which is why it has a disintegration attack.
Its description "The listener" in its encyclopedia entry is a reference to the Amharic word "adamaCH", meaning "listener", although this began as a coincidence - Adamach was named without knowledge of the word.
