In NetHack, an inediate creature is one that does not need to eat any kind of food to stay alive. Inediate pets can sometimes be difficult to keep tame, as eating is a primary method of increasing a pet's tameness.
An "inediate" player who completes the game without eating is said to have achieved the foodless conduct.
Generally, monsters that are undead, demonic, angelic, or otherwise magical in nature are inediate; there are a handful of exceptions, such ghouls. Some creatures that eat in the real world, like bees and fungi, are classified as inediate in NetHack.
