Turn undead (disambiguation)

Turn undead refers to the ability in NetHack to cause undead monsters to turn and flee from the hero for a time. The name comes from Dungeons & Dragons. In this game's punnish fashion, some forms of undead turning can also turn dead things "un-dead" (alive): see the revive article for more details.

"Turn undead" or "undead turning" in NetHack may refer to several concepts:

• Turn undead or #turn, the extended command which scares, destroys, or pacifies nearby undead
• The spellbook of turn undead, which teaches a beam-type clerical spell that scares undead and revives corpses and eggs
• The wand of undead turning, which can be zapped for an effect similar to the spell
• The cursed Book of the Dead, which will revive nearby corpses and eggs along with summoning some undead monsters when read.
