A bearded devil, &, is a type of monster that appears in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. The bearded devil is a lawful major demon that has somewhat humanoid anatomy, similar to the barbed devil, though they cannot wear armor on the torso despite being medium in size. A bearded devil is thick-skinned and can follow a hero to other levels if they are adjacent. Tame bearded devils that are not minions may turn traitor.
A bearded devil has two weapon attacks, and like all major demons they possess fire resistance, poison resistance, drain resistance, and death resistance. Bearded devils require a +1 weapon or better to be hit and hit as +2 weapons.
Bearded devils are poisonous to consume, which primarily comes up if they are digested by another monster.
Generation
Randomly generated bearded devils are always created hostile. While bearded devils are flagged to appear only in Gehennom, no lawful monsters can be created in Gehennom by normal random generation.[1]
Bearded devils can appear in graveyards, and are eligible for gating by hostile lawful major demons as well as a hero in the form of one.
Though they are lawful monsters, tame barbed devil minions can be given as sacrifice gifts to chaotic heroes at experience levels 12 to 16.[2] Hostile bearded devils can also appear as minions of an angry chaotic god or Moloch.
Bearded devils do not leave a corpse upon death.
History
The bearded devil first appears in NetHack-- 3.0.10.
