| Reference | monst.c#line2589 |
The barbed devil, &, is a major demon that appears in NetHack. It has stronger attacks than the horned devil, but possesses weaker AC than both it and the water demon.
Generation
The barbed devil is flagged to only appear in Gehennom, but no lawful creatures can be randomly generated there; thus, they are effectively never randomly generated. This trait also occurs with horned devils and the erinys.
Barbed devils may be created in groups wherever they DO appear, and are valid forms for a polymorph trap, which may result in them appearing much earlier in the main dungeon. They are also eligible for gating by other major demons.
Strategy
The barbed devil's damage is unimpressive, and even in groups they are not much threat to a player skilled in dealing with demons or multiple opponents.
