In NetHack, some monsters are classified as animals, identified by the is_animal() macro and ultimately defined by the M1_ANIMAL flag in monst.c.
Description
The "animal" classification has the following implications:
- Animals with an item-stealing attack will attempt to take an object and flee on foot rather than teleport if successful, as nymphs do. They cannot steal cursed objects stuck to you, rings worn under a curse-welded weapon or armor that takes more than one move to take off. The same caveats apply to theft by muggers in variants.
- Animals with an engulfing attack can remove you from a steed, even if your saddle is cursed. They are affected by a chameleon, doppelganger, nurse, wraith, or cockatrice corpse dropped or thrown inside of them. They can be forced to release you by spinning a web, ringing the Bell of Opening or using opening magic inside of them.
- Animals can't use (and don't generate with) armor, offensive, defensive, miscellaneous items or tins, and will not deliberately use traps or stairs to flee.
- Chameleons usually imitate animals.
