Generation
Randomly generated water elementals may be peaceful towards neutral characters. Water elementals generated on the Plane of Water will have three times as many hit points.[1][2][3]
In addition to random generation, a water elemental may also be generated as a minion of a neutral god. Quaffing from a sink has a 1⁄20 chance of generating a water elemental if they are not extinct.
Nineteen hostile water elementals are generated across the Plane of Water at level creation.[4]
Water elementals are not a valid target for genocide. A water elemental does not leave a corpse upon death.
History
The water elemental first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
Variants
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, at least one water elemental is generated within the Cloud Bank of the Lawful Quest at level creation, with a 3⁄5 chance of a second one being placed nearby.
The Ice Mage quest artifact, The Storm Whistle, can be invoked to summon tame water elementals.
NetHack brass
In NetHack brass, water elementals are given an additional engulfing attack and a rust-inducing passive - this makes them among the more dangerous elementals to encounter, as their engulfing can suffocate you if you do not break out in time, and will often cause significant water damage to your even if you survive.
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, the first alternate layout of the Castle generates two fire elementals in the lava chamber at level creation.
dNetHack
In dNetHack, 1⁄10 of the monsters randomly generated on the Water Temple level of the Chaos Temple Quest will be water elementals.
SpliceHack
In SpliceHack, a hostile water elemental is generated on the Plane of Ice at level creation.
EvilHack
In EvilHack, water elementals are given an additional engulfing attack and a rust-inducing passive similar to NetHack brass.
SlashTHEM
In addition to SLASH'EM details, SlashTHEM adds the greater water elemental, though water elementals cannot grow up into them. Water elementals leave behind shallow water upon death.
The Firefighter quest artifact, the Fire Chief Helmet, can be invoked to summon tame water elementals similar to The Storm Whistle - the effect now has a 3⁄4 chance of generating a standard water elemental, and the remaining 1⁄4 of the time it will create a greater water elemental.
