| Reference | monst.c#line1983 |
The umber hulk is a monster in NetHack. It is one of the few monsters which can tunnel naturally through rock (along with rock moles) and unique through its confusion gaze attack. Wearing a blindfold while fighting protects against this but not its other attacks.
Apply a mirror to one and it will automatically confuse itself. Useless, but fitting.

Encyclopedia entry
Umber hulks are powerful subterranean predators whose iron-like claws allow them to burrow through solid stone in search of prey. They are tremendously strong; muscles bulge beneath their thick, scaly hides and their powerful arms and legs all end in great claws.
