The katyusha is a type of helm that appears in NetHack brass.

Description
When worn with the maid dress by a female character, a katyusha grants 2 bonus AC, acts as a luckstone of the same beatitude and increases the player's Charisma by its enchantment.
A male character who wears the katyusha will only gain aggravate monster.

Strategy
The Charisma increase is not of much use in incubus encounters, since you will have to remove the maid dress to initiate the encounter proper.

Origin
A katyusha refers to the frilled headband of a stereotypical maid outfit.
