Frenzy
Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Frenzy is a status effect. During frenzy, monsters turn "neutral", causing them to attack anything in sight - friend or foe. When applied to natural, demonic, or holy creatures, frenzy also applies the haste and might status effect.
When a source of frenzy is used against the player, only the normal berserk effect is applied.
Sources of Frenzy
Frenzy can be afflicted by:
- Discord: A level 8 Hexes spell which attempts to frenzy all monsters in sight.
- Datura-tipped dart: Throwing weapon which can apply the frenzy effect to vulnerable monster upon hit (causes the player to berserk instead).
- Orbs of mayhem: May frenzy a monster whenever you kill.
History
*Prior to 0.28, non-natural creatures would not get the haste or might effect. You would not get XP when a frenzied monster died. Gods which hated attacking neutral monsters would forbid attacking a frenzied one. Also, frenzy was made dispellable again.
