Body shape (dNetHack)

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

In dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack armor pieces can be made into different shapes. You are only able to wear armor pieces that match the shape of your current body. Pets will only be able to equip armor pieces shaped to their body, and may require resizing or reshaping.

Description

The shape of a monster body determines which type of armor they can wear. You also have a specific bodyshape which can change if you polymorph into a differently shaped monster.

The following types of armor exist:

  • Barded armor for monsters considered to be animals.
    • Barded helmets for monsters considered to be animals.
  • Segmented armor for monsters considered to be slithy.
  • Centaur armor for monsters considered to be centaurs .
  • Snakeleg armor for monsters considered to be snakelike-humanoids.
  • Snakeback armor for monsters considered to be snakelike-animals.
    • Snakeneck helmets for monsters considered to have snake-like heads.

Using a upgrade kit allows for re-shaping any armor piece to either fit a certain monster's shape and size or making it a specific size and shape selectable through a menu. Smiths allow for creating custom-made armor pieces in a similar vein.
