An undead hunter, @, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. The undead hunter is a chaotic human player monster corresponding to a Undead Hunter hero: they will have the role's appropriate rank title for their monster level, and can reach level 30 like heroes can.

An undead hunter has a weapon attack and an offhand weapon attack. They boast skilled prowess in martial combat and have a ³⁄₄ base attack bonus of +0.75 to-hit per monster level.

Generation

Undead hunters are not generated randomly, and are normally created as peaceful towards chaotic heroes before specific adjustments are made. They are only a valid form for doppelgangers to polymorph into, and can only be targeted for genocide if an undead hunter hero reads a scroll of genocide—such a hero reading a cursed scroll while confused will instead create several undead hunter player monsters adjacent to themselves.

Undead hunter corpses can generate in graveyards, including ones within the Valley of the Dead. Undead hunter statues can generate in cockatrice nests and on Medusa's Island. An undead hunter hero killed by HP damage from a cockatrice or chickatrice, or else killed by any form of stoning, will leave a named undead hunter statue behind containing their inventory rather than a named ghost and named corpse if a bones file is created. Statues of undead hunters cannot be wished for by any means, while figurines can be wished for, but will warp strangely when used.

Hostile undead hunters can appear among the various player monsters placed on the Astral Plane during level creation.

Encyclopedia entry

Shrouded by night, but with steady stride.
Colored by blood, but always clear of mind.
Proud hunter of the church.
Beasts are a curse, and a curse is a shackle.
Only ye are the true blades of the church.
[ Bloodborne, by FromSoftware ]
