This is a list of monsters in NetHack sorted by speed, then by monster difficulty and experience value.
In general, you will be able to run away from any monster that travels at your speed or slower. For comparison purposes, here are some common speed benchmarks to help you decide whether to run or use a more strategic escape method in any given circumstance. For example, if you are unencumbered and wearing speed boots (very fast), you can outrun a leocrotta; if you are burdened and not fast or very fast, you will not be able to outrun a water demon.
Encumbrance | Normal speed | Fast | Very fast |
---|---|---|---|
Unencumbered | 12 | 16 | 20 |
Burdened | 9 | 12 | 15 |
Stressed | 6 | 8 | 10 |
Strained | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Overtaxed | 1.5 | 2 | 2.5 |
For comparison, monster speeds are listed below. A monster with intrinsic speed (gained by e.g. a wand of speed monster) or extrinsic speed (speed boots) has four thirds their normal movement rate.[1] A slowed monster (e.g. by means of a wand of slow monster) has two thirds their normal movement rate.[2]
