A mask is a type of tool that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. It is made of leather.
Generation
Lillends are frequently generated with a set of several masks: the two lillends generated in the lair of Lamashtu at level creation are always given a specific set of masks, while those generated on the Elemental Planes are given the masks of appropriate "nasties" for that plane - all other lillends are generated with six random generic masks.
The The Mask of Tlaloc is an artifact mask of a god.
notdNetHack
In notdNetHack, The Stone Mask is an artifact mask of Shiro.
Description
Masks are worn over the face and eyes, and applying a mask will put it on or remove it. Every mask is of a particular monster: if a character is polymorphed while wearing a mask, they will transform into that monster if it is a valid polymorph form, and will otherwise turn into a random monster as normal.
Certain monsters that wear masks, such as lillends, can use the same attack routines as the monster depicted on their worn mask.
Strategy
Worn masks can can be used to minimize damage from unexpected polymorph traps, and are often employed to hide marks from the character binding spirits such as Andromalius and Astaroth.
Lillends are among the most dangerous mask wearers due to their ability to copy the attacks of the depicted monster - the ones generated on Lamashtu's level may carry masks of even more deadly monsters such as sartan tannin or even Demogorgon.
