In NetHack, the letter N serves the following purposes:
- n represents a nymph:
- n wood nymph
- n water nymph
- n mountain nymph
- N represents a naga:
- N red naga
- N black naga
- N golden naga
- N guardian naga
- N red naga hatchling
- N black naga hatchling
- N golden naga hatchling
- N guardian naga hatchling
- It is also used as a direction key:
- If numpad is on, pressing n lets you specify a numeric prefix for a command. For example, n10s would search 10 times.
- If numpad is on, pressing shift + n works as an alias for the extended command #name.
