A shemagh is a type of helm that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It has a base material of cloth, and appears as a headscarf when unidentified.
Generation
Shemaghs are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for or found in bones.
A tiny shemagh is generated in a chest in the treasure room behind the throne room guarded by the Mordor marshall on the Mordor Fortress level in the Mordor Ruins Quest.
Each of the four monsters generated shackled to a gurney on "filler B" levels in the Madman quest — except for priestesses, witches and coiling brawn — have a 1⁄25 chance of being accompanied by a lilitu that is operating on them. These lilitus will always be created with a cursed +5 shemagh, colored yellow. deminymphs and yuki-onna will only be accompanied by a lilitu with a 19 - Insight20 chance, and will never be accompanied by a lilitu if the hero has more than 18 insight.
Some monsters are generated with shemaghs:
- Alabaster elves always generate with a shemagh.
- Alabaster elf elders always generate with a shemagh.
- Berefts are always generated with a cursed filth-crusted tattered shemagh, colored black.
Description
While worn, a shemagh grants 0 base AC and 0 DR. Wearing a shemagh grants no magic cancellation, and wearing or removing a shemagh takes 1 action. Shemaghs protect against being blinded by dust storms in Mithardir, as well as the illness-inducing spores inside the cloud. They also protect against the sandstorm, and against the gray mold spore clouds, though they do not protect against the passive on-death skin gray mold infection, such as from vegepygmies, or from their gray mold-inducing attacks.
