A yuki-onna, n, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. The yuki-onna is a cold-elemental nymph that corresponds to the yuki-onna race of hero: she is omnivorous, has infravision, can be seen via infravision, and will seek out items to collect like most nymphs, though unlike most nymphs yuki-onna do not teleport randomly while moving. In notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack, yuki-onna can also polymorph into the form of a snow cloud, v, at will: this vortex form is strong and grants them flight and unbreathing, but causes them to shed worn armor and drop weapons.

A yuki-onna has a weapon attack, a cold touch attack, an item-stealing seduction attack, and a passive cold attack, and possesses cold resistance. A snow cloud has a frosty touch attack, a frosty engulfing attack, and a passive frost attack; they possess cold resistance, sleep resistance, poison resistance, and immunity to sickness.

Eating a yuki-onna corpse or tin conveys temporary cold resistance.

Generation

Randomly-generated yuki-onna are always created hostile, and will not be generated in Gehennom.

Yuki-onna zombies can be randomly generated in the Anachrononaut quest.

Lillends generated on the Plane of Air and the Astral Plane may generate with yuki-onna masks.
