The zruty is the monster that uses the lowercase letter z. NetHack describes it thus:
- "The zruty are wild and gigantic beings, living in the wildernesses of the Tatra mountains."
Zruty get two hit attacks and a bite attack. They seem to have no special abilities.
Zruty are best known as the NetHack monster, even a Clusty search for "zruty" returns NetHack-dominated results. This makes it difficult to know if zruty exist outside of NetHack. The Tatra Mountains, however, exist in the border of Poland and Slovakia, so the origins of zruty could be in Polish or Slovakian mythology.
On this web forum, someone has posted what appears to be the full text of a book called Vampires of the Slavs, which includes this quote: "The Slovaks have their Zruty, or Ozruti, who are wild and gigantic beings, living in the wildernesses of the Tatra Mountains." The similar phrasing suggests that this book is the origin of the monster and of the in-game description.
