Line 71:
** The Vorpal Blade of ''Jabberwocky'' fame has a 5% chance to [[One-Hit Kill|behead the victim]] upon hitting them, [[No Sell|unless they have no head or else are intangible]] (e.g. ghosts, shades and vortices). This even includes nonliving monsters and multiheaded monsters such as ettins - of course, [[Yet Another Stupid Death|this also applies to '''you''']] if you're caught on the wrong end, which is a very likely danger in the Astral Plane. [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything/NetHack|And yes, it always works against jabberwocks]].
** The vorpal jabberwock is a [[Dummied Out|deferred monster]] in the vanilla game based on the jabberwock; variants that make use of it, such as ''[[GruntHack]]'' and ''[[UnNetHack]]'', often give the monster its ''own'' beheading attacks, though it retains the weakness to Vorpal Blade.
** While ''possibly'' not literal, [[Too Dumb To Live|brainlessness]] can result from being hit by one too many brain-eating attacks by a mind flayer, which reduces your intelligence - not only is this also an instadeath [[Stat Death|if your INT drops too low]], but even {{spoiler|[[Auto Revive|an amulet of life saving]]}} won't work properly, since your brain will still be gone after.
