In dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack, Defilement is the Chaotic god of the Undead Hunter pantheon.

Description

Defilement is a neutral god of unholy holiness, and has no minions. It is the god of Undead Hunter defilement but isn't a deity in most regards, and is referred to as "the philosophy of defilement". It cannot be prayed to, angered, and won't have a high altar aligned to it present on the Astral Plane, instead being replaced by a high altar to Anhur. Undead Hunters cannot crown under Defilement, and it has no crowning gift associated to it.

You have made a breakthrough in the philosophy of the defilement!

You obtained enough defilement upgrades as an Undead Hunter to qualify for a full-scoring ascension.

You are ready to conduct another experiment into the nature of defilement.
Use your phlebotomy kit while standing at a workbench-altar to defilement.

Hint given in the self-inspect menu when a new defilement upgrade can be obtained.
