Special room

A special room is different from the normal rooms of the randomly-generated dungeon. For example, it might contain a shop or a collection of monsters.

This list might be incomplete.

Shops

Shops allow you to buy and sell items.

Temples

A temple contains an aligned altar, and a priest of that alignment, who will ask for offerings if #chatted with. Such rooms without priests are just normal rooms with an altar in them, and carry no special status. Certain monsters will flee from temples.

If a temple's resident priest dies, the temple becomes haunted, and every time you enter it, there is a chance of "an enormous ghost" appearing next to you, paralysing you for a few turns, and then acting as an ordinary ghost.

Beehive

Beehives contain killer bees and one queen bee. Roughly 1/3 of the squares will contain royal jelly. All residents are asleep when the room is generated.

Leprechaun hall

Filled with sleeping leprechauns and gold.

Cockatrice Nest

Cockatrice nests contain cockatrices and chickatrices, along with a few statues. Usually, but not always, the statues contain goodies. Get them.
