A yochlol, &, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. The yochlol is an amorphous female major demon associated with the drow goddess Lolth that can be seen via infravision, and can shift into the form of a poison cloud-like vortex, v, called a stinking cloud. In both forms, yochlol are strong, will seek out items to pick up, and can follow the player character to other floors if they are adjacent - they may also turn traitor while tame.

In demon form, a yochlol has two tentacle attacks and a single-target studying gaze attack, and possesses fire resistance, poison resistance, drain resistance, and death resistance. In stinking cloud form, they have a poisonous engulfing attack and a second engulfing attack, and possess sleep resistance, stoning resistance and sickness resistance in addition to their other resistances.

Yochlol are poisonous to consume, which primarily comes up if they are digested by another monster or subjected to Ahazu.

Generation

Yochlol are only randomly generated in Gehennom, and randomly-generated yochlol are always hostile.

Yochlol do not leave a corpse upon death.

Origin

Yochlol are lesser demonic abominations from the Forgotten Realms D&D setting, known as the "Handmaidens of Lolth". They are natural shapeshifters that can take on oozing and gaseous forms, as well as arachnid and humanoid ones.
