The hezrou, &, is a demon in NetHack. They are slow, but can hit hard. Like any non-balrog, non-foocubus major demon, polymorphing into a hezrou and attacking a monster with bare or gloved hands grants a 113 chance per hit landed to summon tame demons with the message "Some hell-p has arrived!"

Strategy

Polymorphing into a hezrou is not very useful; they are very slow and large. You will break your shirt, cloak and any body armor. If this happens to you unintentionally, perhaps as the result of a polymorph trap, try attacking bare-handedly to summon some pet hezrou.

A pet hezrou will not summon more demon monsters—tame or otherwise—when they fight.

Encyclopedia entry

"Hezrou" is the common name for the type II demon. It is
among the weaker of demons, but still quite formidable.
