| Reference | monst.c#line2849 |
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 you current Power, with the message "You feel a mild buzz"[1]. The chance is determined two ways: 1) A fixed chance of approximately 1 in 3, and 2) it will always be increased if your (current Power * 3) is less than your (max Power * 2)[2].
If you do get an increase, your current Power will be increased by between 1 to 3 points[3]. If this increase would raise you above your total maximum Power, the maximum is increased by 1, and current Power is set to maximum. [4]
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 ]
