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

A monster's item usage property describes which types of items it can use. There are four "levels", and every next level includes all the permissons of the previous ones.

  • "Uses nothing" (stored in the source code as MONUSE_NOTHING) means the monster cannot use items or doors.
  • "Open doors" (MONUSE_OPEN_DOORS) means the monster can open doors, but cannot use inventory-type items.
  • "Starting equipment" (MONUSE_STARTING_EQUIPMENT) means the monster is sometimes generated with items that it can use. The items a monster starts with is dependent on its type; gnolls tend to start with polearms, Sigmund always carries a magical scythe, and centaurs always have bows and may sometimes wear barding.
  • "Weapons & armour" (MONUSE_WEAPONS_ARMOUR) means that the monster can pick up and use items on the floor, including wands. Note that monsters can pick up only items the player has not seen yet.
