The rust monster or disenchanter is a monster class that appears in NetHack, and is represented by the uppercase R glyph (R). Rust monsters and disenchanters are designated internally by the macro S_RUSTMONST.[1]
The monster class contains the two namesake monsters:[2]
Common traits
Rust monsters and disenchanters can both degrade equipment: Rust monsters erode non-proofed metallic equipment, while disenchanters drain enchantment from armor and weapons.
Generation
2-3 rust monsters or disenchanters are generated in the central room of the Castle at level creation.
Strategy
This monster class is a prime candidate for genocide: though the rust monster is an annoyance that can be solved with armor and weapons that are proofed or non-metallic, disenchanters are difficult to hit reliably and sap enchantments from weapons that you do land hits with.
