An anthole is a special room that appears in NetHack. It is filled with food items, and is entirely populated by one of the three ant monsters: soldier ants, giant ants, or fire ants.[1] The ants will be generated sleeping.

Generation

There is a 18 chance of an anthole being generated in ordinary rooms-and-corridors levels on or below dungeon level 13, if they do not have a shop, throne room, leprechaun hall, zoo, temple, beehive or graveyard.[2]

Antholes will not be generated if ants are genocided or extinct.

Strategy

By the time you encounter an anthole, the ants will probably be easy to deal with.
