1	'''Unmarked spoilers ahead.'''
2
3	* Dying [[EpicFail on your]] [[PressStartToGameOver first turn]].
4	--> ''[[GameOver You die...]] \
5	[[TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} Do not pass Go. Do not collect 200 zorkmids.]]''
6	* [[DeathByFallingOver Death by falling off of horses]].
7	* Dying by kicking something.
8	* In SLASH'EM, death by fishhook to the face. Or by hitting yourself with a grappling hook in [=NetHack=].
9	* Typically, a potion of gain level grants you an instant level up. A cursed potion of gain level warps you to the floor above. That is, you don't go up a CharacterLevel. [[ExactWords You go up a]] ''[[ExactWords dungeon]]'' [[ExactWords level]]. Even funnier, this is one of the safest ways to enter the Elemental Planes, since downing a cursed potion of gain level with the real Amulet of Yendor at level 1 takes you to the Planes, while drinking it while possessing a fake Amulet or none at all safely does nothing.
10	* Any YASD can give a ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'' game a run for its money.
11	* Hallucinating and seeing what any of the other monsters will turn into.
12	* If you throw a cockatrice corpse up (be sure to wear gloves!) while not wearing a helmet, it will fall on your head and turn you to stone. The game states the cause of death as "petrified by elementary physics."
13	* Heck, any time the cause of death reaches DeadpanSnarker levels.
14	* "The kitten eats a little dog corpse."
15	* The fact that praying too often might annoy your god so much they'll just [[DisproportionateRetribution kill you]]. And the fact that if you're [[CrazyPrepared particularly powerful]], you can ''survive''.
16	--> '''Your god:''' [[ThisCannotBe I believe it not!]]
17	* If you're extremely unlucky, the game might generate an artifact that is incompatible with your role or alignment on top of the starting staircase, [[PressStartToGameOver which will result in you being blasted to death by said artifact as soon as the game starts if you have autopickup enabled]].
18	* Using the #name command, players can name monsters whatever they want. If you get killed by a monster you named, their name will be listed in the cause of death. Some names people come up with are absolutely hilarious - just check out [[https://alt.org/nethack/topdeaths.html nethack.alt.org's list of deaths]].
19	--> killed by a grid bug called [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING]]
20	* Putting a potion of acid into a potion of water will cause it to explode. If this kills you, your cause of death is "[[HaveANiceDeath Death by elementary chemistry]]".
