# Demigod
Demigod, or u.uevent.udemigod, is a flag used by the game to indicate that a player has killed the Wizard of Yendor at least once or performed the Invocation. Some behaviors change when the flag is set:

Shopkeepers will refer to him or her as "most gracious," "esteemed," or "most renowned and sacred" before "sir" or "lady" (or "creature").
Gods are harder to please.  Specifically, prayer timeout is increased by roughly a factor of three, the same effect as being crowned (although being a demigod and crowning will stack for the purposes of prayer timeout).
Monster generation increases.
The Wizard of Yendor will start harassing you until you reach the Astral Plane.
This flag is unrelated to the act of becoming a demigod upon ascension, at which point the game is over and the player's state is moot.
