Desirability
The Spriggan's Knife[1] is an incredibly powerful item for stabbers. Monsters who are distracted, confused, or even those who haven't noticed you yet will have a 50% chance to take a sleep-tier stab, which is often a one-shot with a stab-focused character build.
Many of these stabs are effective even against monsters with extreme HD or willpower. All monsters can fail to notice you, only a select few monsters are immune to a throwing net, and Uskayaw will frequently disable enemies. Gozag, allied summons, or animated undead can distract enemies, which monsters are not immune to.
Unfortunately, it isn't much use to other characters unless you find it very early on, since an unbranded dagger is a poor weapon for general combat.
