Line 39:
* [[That One Boss]]:
** Master Kaen, the Monk quest nemesis, ended up as this due to the Monk role being imported from [[SLASH'EM]], where Monks had special techniques that allowed them to match him in terms of damage output. Without those techniques, the Monk is left to contend against Kaen's monstrous melee damage through other means.
** Among Gehennom's [[Optional Boss]]es, {{spoiler|Demogorgon}} doubtlessly qualifies, having the highest monster difficulty rating in the entire game.
** The Wizard of Yendor can count as this, due to his propensity for coming back with more hit points and a higher caster level than before.
* [[That One Level]]: Gehennom is actually [[Marathon Level|20 to 24 ''consecutive'' Scrappy Levels]]. One of the many additions [[SLASH'EM]] makes is breaking up the monotony of Gehennom with more "special" levels, while [[Sporkhack]] completely revamps Gehennom by (a) giving the local [[Mooks]] some ability to actually threaten the player (b) getting rid of the mazes in favour of caves (with lava behind the cave walls).
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: The [[Horny Devils|foocubi]] and their seduction attacks can easily read as sexual assault or outright ''rape'' to many players, [https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Forum:Homosexual_Foocubi%3F and patching in ways to avert this] have been a notable subject of discussion. For what it's worth, the game has a compile-time option SEDUCE; if not defined, the foocubi's seduction attack becomes a "drain life" attack.
