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

*"Uses nothing" (stored in the [[source code]] as <code>MONUSE_NOTHING</code>) means the monster cannot use items or doors.
*"Open [[door]]s" (<code>MONUSE_OPEN_DOORS</code>) means the monster can open doors, but cannot use inventory-type items.
*"Starting equipment" (<code>MONUSE_STARTING_EQUIPMENT</code>) means the monster is sometimes generated with items that it can use. The items a monster starts with is dependent on its type; [[Gnoll_(monster)|gnoll]]s tend to start with [[polearm]]s, [[Sigmund]] always carries a magical [[scythe]], and [[centaur]]s always have [[bow]]s and may sometimes wear [[barding]].
*"Weapons & armour" (<code>MONUSE_WEAPONS_ARMOUR</code>) means that the monster can pick up and use items on the floor, including [[wand]]s. Note that monsters can pick up only items the player has not seen yet.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.31]], monsters could use [[potion]]s and [[scroll]]s.
