In NetHack, the M2_LORD monster flag (and the is_lord() macro that queries it) indicates that a monster is a "lord" to its kind. The following monsters are lords:
- g winged gargoyle
- h dwarf lord
- k kobold lord
- A ki-rin
- A Archon
- G gnome lord
- O ogre lord
- V vampire lord
- V vampire mage (deferred)
- @ elf-lord
- @ aligned priest
- & Juiblex
- & Yeenoghu
Description
Being a lord has the following effects:
- A lord that can wield weapons and has no special rules for its species is more likely to receive a weapon.[1]
- When throwing projectiles, a lord gets a +1 multishot bonus.[2]
- An A angelic being lord that receives a weapon or shield (i.e. an Archon) is guaranteed to receive a shield of reflection, and its weapon will always be upgraded to Sunsword or Demonbane if the chosen artifact doesn't exist.[3]
- Demon summoning by same-race sacrifice will summon a demon lord if possible, falling back to a major demon if both lords have already been generated.[4]
