Origin

Adamach is a Rilmani that is original to dNetHack - the name is a combination of the Rilmani naming scheme and a dual pun on Adam, the biblical first man, and adamantine, a nigh-inpenetrable metallic element common in fantasy stories. Its description as "the listener" in its encyclopedia entry is a reference to the Amharic word "adamaCH", meaning "listener"; this is a coincidental occurrence that was incorporated into Adamach's name after the fact.

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 armor-shredding and disintegration attacks.
