  • Sandestin
rdfs:comment
  • The sandestin, &, is the rarest seen of the shapeshifting monsters in NetHack, only being generated in Gehennom. Despite having the glyph of a major demon it is not considered as such. Sandestins have a 1/6 chance of changing form per turn, and will mimic nasties 6/7 of the time, or a random monster the rest of the time. It is quite possible to play nethack for a long time without knowing the existence of these monsters, as they always mimic other monsters and leave no corpse.
