Hat

In NetHack, the term hat is used refer to any of the following helms in certain messages:

• cornuthaum
• dunce cap
• elven leather helm, known as a "leather hat" when unidentified, or simply as a "hat" in variants that implement an object materials system
• fedora

Additionally, the dwarvish iron helm appears as a hard hat when unidentified, but otherwise is always referred to as a helm.

Hats are generally non-rigid helms: they do not protect against falling objects, but can be worn while polyselfed into a form with a horned head, and wearing one lowers the amount of damage taken if you hit the ceiling from quaffing a cursed potion of levitation.
