Not as well-known as ''[[Nethack]]'', but has a comparable fanbase. It is relatively easy to alter the source, so it has spawned hundreds of variants over the years, a few dozen of which are still in active development: one example is [[Z Angband]].

* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Greater Vaults. If you see a completely walled off room filled with treasure, ''run away''.
** Also, in [[
* [[Stat Sticks]]: Defender weapons.
* [[Vendor Trash]]: Unidentified potions of apple juice, slime mold juice and water, which are given the same color qualifier across games (although no longer available in the latest versions).

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: The town level is full of beggars, harmless drunks, street urchins and mercenaries. The urchins of whom will try and steal from you. ''Guess what happens next.'' Even worse, the mercenaries can easily kill a starting character.
** Three words: Killing [[The Lord of the Rings|Farmer Maggot]].
