'''Attack type''' determines what special properties a [[melee]] attack has. Most monster attack types have no special properties, aside from what text is used when the attack is made.

Different attacks can generate different levels of [[noise]]—for instance, "tail-slaps" generate twice as much noise as "stings". However, the amount of damage done by the attack is a larger factor, and no melee attack is ever louder than a [[shout]].

==Special effects==
* AT_CHERUB ([[:Category:Cherub type|monster list]]) randomly transformed into AT_HIT, AT_PECK, AT_BITE, or AT_GORE.
* AT_CLAW ([[:Category:Claw type|monster list]]) severs [[hydra]] heads.
* AT_CONSTRICT ([[:Category:Constrict type|monster list]]) [[constrict]]s the defender, causing extra damage and trapping the opponent.
* AT_TRAMPLE ([[:Category:Trample type|monster list]]) can [[trample]] the defender, pushing it back one square.
* AT_RANDOM ([[:Category:Random type|monster list]]) randomly transformed into AT_HIT or AT_GORE.
* AT_REACH_STING ([[:Category:Reach sting type|monster list]]) has [[reaching]].
* AT_SPORE ([[:Category:Spore type|monster list]]) makes certain [[attack flavour]]s (AF_CONFUSE and AF_SLEEP) ineffective against [[unbreathing]] creatures. E.g. a monster with AT_SPORE ''and'' AF_CONFUSE cannot confuse unbreathing creatures.
