User:Wikid/Morality Monsters
Piped from the sages of VoR's Hallucinatory Bestiary, we bring you the Morality Monsters.
Smiting things in Nethack is generally good, but whacking Morality Monsters can get the injudicious adventurer into precarious trouble. Unfortunately the whacking can be hard to avoid, as some of these Morality Monsters can be hard to eliminate without whacking, increase on contact with cold iron, and can get in the way.
Consequence Of Your Insouciance
Consequence Of Your Insouciance is a unique iron golem, whose probability of being spawned increases as alignment record worsens. Each alignment-reducing act has a probability of (2% * alignment decrement) of spawning Consequence Of Your Insouciance.
Consequence Of Your Insouciance has a levelporting attack, that ports to the lowest accessible level. If spawned in the Mazes of Menace, it ports to the Valley of the Dead. If spawned in Gehennom, it ports to the Vibrating Square or Moloch's Sanctum. Consequence of Your Insouciance is covetous, and ports alongside the player character.

Consequence Of Your Insouciance | Wants the Amulet of Yendor |
I have to confess that I had gambled on my soul and lost it with heroic insouciance and lightness of touch. The soul is so impalpable, so often useless, and sometimes such a nuisance, that I felt no more emotion on losing it than if, on a stroll, I had mislaid my visiting card.

Tarkin, if ever there was a shred of humanity in you or these twisted creatures of yours, it's dead now. You're at war with life itself.
