 In [[NetHack 3.6.7]] and previous versions, including some variants based on those versions, peaceful monsters cannot be displaced&mdash;a hero trying to move a peaceful acid blob out of their path will want to let their pet handle the dirty work instead if they are strong enough to, and can otherwise use safe-movement via {{kbd|m}} to try and nudge the blob into an open room. Angering a peaceful acid blob incurs the usual -1 penalty to [[alignment record]], or a -5 penalty if you kill the blob without angering it (e.g. via [[force bolt]] for [[Wizard]]s)&mdash;this can be a major detriment in the early game, so be sure to use the [[far look]] command on an acid blob to determine if it is peaceful.
