Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Egos are special abilities and intrinsics found on weapons, armour, and other character items. When an item name shows as "+x foo of barring", the "of barring" is the ego. For example: boots of running, war axe of electrocution.

Egos on weapons are often referred to as brands. Unlike other egos, many weapon brands can be added to normal weapons temporarily through certain spells (or permanently with certain exceptional methods). This page focuses on non-weapon egos; see the brand page for weapon egos.
