The Aleax, A, is a humanoid angelic being that appears in NetHack. It is the only humanoid angelic monster that is a valid polymorph form.
Generation
Aleaxes are rarely generated randomly and will never appear in Gehennom. They may appear as lawful minions; randomly generated Aleaxes will be peaceful towards lawful characters with good alignment record.
They are generated with a blessed erodeproof long sword and a non-cursed erodeproof large shield. There is a 1⁄20 chance that the sword will be converted into either Demonbane or Sunsword (if the chosen artifact does not exist yet), and a 1⁄4 chance the shield will instead be a shield of reflection.
Variant
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, an Aleax behaves more like the D&D Aleax (as described below), and will be generated wearing an erodeproof +0 copy of all of the player's equipment and weapons; artifacts will be converted to their base item.
Origin
In Dungeons & Dragons, an Aleax is an avatar of a deity sent to punish a specific mortal; the Aleax takes on the target's exact appearance and carries identical equipment.
Encyclopedia entry
Said to be a doppelganger sent to inflict divine punishment
for alignment violations.
