A '''hunting horror''', {{yellow|w}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]] and [[notdNetHack]]. A hunting horror is a [[flying]] [[worm]]-like creature that has a multi-segmented tail, {{yellow|~}}, similar to a [[long worm]] - unlike the long worm, it will never grow more than two tail segments, quickly regrows segments if one or both are lost, and the severed tail of a hunting horror will never become a new hunting horror. Hunting horrors move erratically similar to [[bat or bird]] monsters, with a {{frac|3}} chance of the monster moving in a random direction during each of its turns.

And in the air about him were great viperine creatures,
which had curiously distorted heads, and grotesquely great
clawed appendages, supporting themselves with ease by the
aid of black rubbery wings of singularly monstrous
dimensions.
