 A '''teleport trap''' is a magical [[trap]] that instantly [[teleport]]s any player or monster that walks on it to another location on the level, even if [[fly]]ing. Because they are an instantaneous form of teleportation, they make for good emergency escape routes, especially if you've already explored most of the current floor.

 ===Temporary===
 Temporary teleport traps are randomly generated, and are always visible. Once a player or monster has passed over it once, the trap will disappear. This includes if the subject was not actually teleported (e.g. a [[Formicid]] with [[stasis]]).

-Teleport traps come in two varieties: temporary and permanent. Temporary teleport traps vanish after activating once, while permanent teleport traps allow for unlimited use.
