Bonus Boss is a disambiguation


* BonusBoss: Many. They can be gated in by demons: Baalphegor, Verier, Pale Night and others. They're [[ThatOneBoss extraordinarily dangerous]], too.

Death By Sex is no longer a trope per this TRS thread Zero Context Examples and examples that do not fit existing tropes will be deleted.


* DeathBySex: Not only is the act described with excessive graphic detail, your love interest can also betray you and use a nasty attack after stripping you naked. There is even a unique death message if it happens.

Added DiffLines:

* AnachronismStew: Even more pronounced than in ''VideoGame/NetHack''. You have like MedievalEuropeanFantasy fare characteristic of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' like ogres and druids alongside more sci-fi stuff like space marines and Reticulans, and that's not counting more modern fare like supermarket cashiers and venture capitalists.


Added DiffLines:

* CombatStilettos: This variant adds high heels. Attacking enemies with them is affected by the hammer skill, and the Transvestite role gets bonuses when attacking with hammers to encourage this fighting style.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Cyborg}}: Spelled "Zyborg" here. There are also Cyberninjas.


Added DiffLines:

* DenserAndWackier: ''VideoGame/NetHack'' is already a bit on the goofy side, standard ''VideoGame/SlashEM'' pushes things further, and this variant goes all in on the silliness.


Added DiffLines:

* LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces: So, so many, with plenty of them coming from other games. Some races can be combined and hybridized too, for even more possibilities. [[https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Race/Slash%27EM_Extended Take a look at them here.]]


Added DiffLines:

* WholesomeCrossdresser: The Transvestite role, who gets a speed boost and the ability to charm certain humans/humanoids when wearing high heels and good hammering skills, ostensibly for [[ShoeSlap hitting people with said heels]].

* ChallengeRun: The game includes several classes and races that are purposely made extremely difficult to play, including:
** Curser: Most items start off cursed. [[CursedWithAwesome This includes items used by monsters.]]
** Mazewalker: Turns all levels into mazes.
** Nastinator: Starts with incurable "nasty" effects.
** Poisoner: All weapons in the game are poisoned... but you can never become poison resistant.
** Homicider: Monsters don't normally spawn, so the player might end up starving to death if the game also doesn't make enough randomly generated food. Additionally, traps will be created over time. Since most traps cannot be disarmed at all and those that can will only give very few experience points, the player character may end up being severely underleveled for the few monsters that actually do spawn.

Added DiffLines:

* JokeCharacter: This game has *ton* of these. A few notable instances are:
** Activistor: Essentially [[MinionMaster lead protest groups of charmed monsters.]]
** [[FanFic/MyImmortal Goffs]]: Despite being good spellcasters, they start off inflicted with permanent hallucination, vampirism, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and anorexia]].
** Missingno: Transforms into glitch monsters at random. True to form, [[GameBreakingBug doing this may actually break the game.]]
** Redditors: Permanently stunned at level 10.
** Sokosolver: Turns all levels into Sokoban levels.
** American: [[TakeThat All skills are restricted, and are generally useless.]] Unless you play as a [[AmericanGladiators Gladiator]].

Some are harder to catch than others, but there are actual Pokemon monsters in the game like [[MagikarpPower Magikarp]], Wartortle and [[MightyGlacier Steelix]]. The ball is more likely to catch them than some random non-Pokemon monster.

* BlessedWithSuck: The Activistor starts with random intrinsics. One of the possible intrinsics makes them grow hungry more often.



* CursedWithAwesome: Being a werecockatrice can be an easy way to [[TakenForGranite get rid of enemies that don't resist petrification]].
* DeaderThanDead: If your ungenomold character runs out of [[HitPoints hit points]], not even an amulet of life saving can prevent your death.



* DifficultButAwesome: The Ghast race is excellent at combat, with their powerful paralysis attack and tons of resistances, but they can only eat old corpses. Most corpses produced by killing monsters start out fresh, weigh a lot, and your pet dog likes to eat them. Ghasts need to find a way to not starve to death, which can be difficult to do.

* GetBackHereBoss: Vlad the Impaler is an especially annoying example, spawning with scrolls that allow him to teleport to any random dungeon level. Have fun searching for up to 65 dungeon levels to get the [[MacGuffin MacGuffin]] he's holding. And if you do find him, chances are he's got [[ThisIsGonnaSuck another one of those scrolls.]]

The ball is more likely to catch them than some random non-Pokemon monster.
* GuideDangIt: Several types of weapons can be applied at iron bars to smash them down, including steel whips, torpedoes and electric swords. The game never tells the player which weapons can be used for this.
* HarderThanHard: Some roles and races are designed to be that. Picking the Alien race grants nothing but penalties and a heavy stone that weighs down the player and cannot be dropped. Also, the Courier and Bleeder roles suffer from disadvantages as the Courier gets hungry much more quickly and permanently causes conflict, making the effective use of pets next to impossible, while the Bleeder takes double damage from everything.
