In NetHack, an intelligent monster generally describes a non-animal, non-mindless monster.
Description
There is no actual flag for intelligence in the source code; however, certain behaviors such as item use and dungeon feature use are allowed only if a monster is non-animal and non-mindless.[1][2][3][4]
Certain monsters are intelligent, but might appear otherwise because they do not have hands to use items and wear armor with - however, they may still use other applicable dungeon features, e.g. escaping with stairs, jumping into holes, or using polymorph traps. Floating eyes and dragons are examples of such monsters.
