A newt is one of the lower-level NetHack monsters, usually appearing on the first few floors. It can be quite the nuisance for lower levels.

Eating a newt corpse occasionally raises energy slightly ("You feel a mild buzz").

Newts are featured prominently in Dudley's dungeon.

Encyclopedia entry

(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of
its time in the water.
        [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ]

"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
        [ Macbeth, by William Shakespeare ]
