For the monster, see Wraith.

The wraith is a monster class that appears in NetHack, and is represented by an uppercase W glyph (W). Wraiths are designated internally by the macro S_WRAITH.[1]

The monster class contains the following monsters:[2]

Common traits

All wraiths are chaotic-aligned humanoid undead monsters of human size, and move at the same base speed as an unhasted, unburdened player. They possess a drain life attack and have resistance to cold, sleep and poison. Wraiths can follow a character they are adjacent to between levels.

Players killed by a member of the wraith class rise as a wraith if a bones file is created.[3]

The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.

As of commit 3c421da7, a wraith left behind in bones will have the same intrinsics as the former character.

Generation

Randomly generated wraiths are always generated hostile.

The wraith monster class is the second quest monster class for Priests, and makes up 6⁄175 of the monsters randomly generated on the Priest quest.[4] One random wraith monster is generated on the goal level of the branch. The wraith monster class is also the second quest monster class for Wizards, and makes up 6⁄175 of the monsters randomly generated on the Wizard quest, with a random wraith monster generated on the home level of the branch.[5]
