The homunculus, i, is a minor demon in NetHack. Its bite can put unwary adventurers to sleep. While the bite attack is not as deadly as the floating eye's gaze, it can still present a significant hazard. Its corpse is poisonous and can convey poison resistance or sleep resistance.
Encyclopedia entry
A homunculus is a creature summoned by a mage to perform some particular task. They are particularly good at spying. They are smallish creatures, but very agile. They can put their victims to sleep with a venomous bite, but due to their size, the effect does not last long on humans.
"Tothapis cut him off. 'Be still and hearken. You will travel aboard the sacred wingboat. Of it you may not have heard; but it will bear you thither in a night and a day and a night. With you will go a homunculus that can relay your words to me, and mine to you, across the leagues between at the speed of thought.'" [ Conan the Rebel, by Poul Anderson ]
