Rope golems are a type of golem. They have a grabbing attack that chokes. They are one of the two types of golems which do not drop anything when destroyed (the other being straw golems). Rope is a staple item for adventuring parties in the Dungeons & Dragons campaigns that inspired NetHack, but it's not implemented as an item in the game.

An oilskin cloak or greased armor can protect against the golem's grab attack. Otherwise, it is best to keep your distance and use ranged attacks.

Rope golems are always generated with 30 hit points.[1][2]
