Being stunned means you have trouble walking in the direction that you intend - if you press a movement key you will always move, even if the direction attempted is blocked, say by a wall. There is a high chance that it will usually be in a random direction rather than the expected one. If your pet is next to you, you might attack it by accident; you can anger peaceful monsters this way.

Often you have to wait (press [.], or maybe [s] to search) for this effect to wear off (with the message You feel a bit steadier). Applying a unicorn horn successfully will negate the stunning.

Stunning negates teleport control.

Stunning a monster reduces the amount the monster will attack, and in some cases, use magic abilities.
