A '''special ability''' is a spell-like ability that certain monsters possess. Special abilities are genetic, which means only members of a particular species are able to use special abilities. [[Silence]] does not work on genetic abilities.

Common special abilities:
*[[Breath weapon]]s - Only dragons and those descended from them can use breath weapons.
*[[Symbol of Torment]] - Intensely evil abominations, such as [[curse skull]]s and [[curse toe]]s, are able to inflict torment.
*[[Hellfire]] - All fiends instinctively know how to use this ability.

Players can acquire special abilities in a few ways:
* Play a race that gains special abilities as they become more experienced (such as [[tengu]] or [[demonspawn]]).
* Transform into a creature that has a special ability ([[Dragon Form]] and other transmutations).
*[[Mutation|Mutate]] yourself via [[quaff]]ing a [[potion of mutation]], eating a mutagenic [[chunk]], or by worshiping [[Xom]] or [[Jiyva]].
