A monster is any creature that you may encounter while exploring the Mazes of Menace. They may be randomly generated, produced by magic, or placed by the game to fulfill some role.

You may attack any monster you come across, but beware—they may retaliate. Monsters may be tame, peaceful, or hostile. They may be in possession of items, either by being generated with them or by picking them up, which you may claim upon their death. Other items, such as their corpses, will only be generated when they die. The many species of monsters are grouped into monster classes, corresponding to their ASCII symbols.

Some monsters will wear armor, wield weapons, or use other items.

In addition to this list, several online bestiaries also exist.[1]
