'''Attack type''' determines what special properties a [[melee]] attack has. Most monster attack types have no special properties, aside from what text is used when the attack is made.

Different attacks can generate different levels of [[noise]] – for instance, "tail slaps" generate twice as much noise as "stings". However, the amount of damage done by the attack is a larger factor and no melee attack is ever louder than a shout anyway.

Player attack types (specifically, unarmed attacks) have more in-game effect than equivalent monster attacks – for instance, the "horns" mutation or a spiked helmet will increase the damage of a player's headbutt.

==Special effects==
* AT_CHERUB ([[:Category:Cherub type|monster list]]) randomly transformed into AT_HIT, AT_PECK, AT_BITE, or AT_GORE.
* AT_CLAW ([[:Category:Claw type|monster list]]) severs [[hydra]] heads.
* AT_CONSTRICT ([[:Category:Constrict type|monster list]]) [[constrict]]s the defender, causing extra damage and potential [[asphyxiation]].
* AT_TRAMPLE ([[:Category:Trample type|monster list]]) can [[trample]] the defender, pushing it back one square.
* AT_RANDOM ([[:Category:Random type|monster list]]) randomly transformed into AT_HIT or AT_GORE.
* AT_SHOOT ([[:Category:Shoot type|monster list]]) can use ranged weapons even when the defender is right next to them.
