An illithid larva, ;, is a type of monster that appears in notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. The illithid larva is a small, slithy and limbless sea monster-like creature that is an aquatic primordial: it is a form of larval illithid that lacks a defined head, and is amphibious, mindless and capable of swimming. Seeing an illithid larva can lower the hero's sanity and raise their insight.
Illithid larvae have a single weak bite attack and possess poison resistance.
An illithid larva's corpse and blood are poisonous to consume, and eating an illithid larva corpse, eating a tin of its meat, or quaffing its blood (either via potion or vampiric feeding) can grant poison resistance.
Illithid larvae can be warded by an Elder Sign at any level of reinforcement.
Generation
Illithid larvae are not randomly generated normally, and those created outside of the usual circumstances will be hostile.
Some peaceful illithid larvae are generated on the Illithanachronounbinder quest home level during level creation: four of them occupy the pool squares around the elder brain in the eastern area of the level, with two more that each have a 1⁄2 chance of being generated alongside them.
