 The '''Grudge Patch''' is a [[patch]] by Nephi written as a patch against [[NetHack 3.4.3]] that introduces hostilities between certain monsters.
 A form of "grudge" exists in vanilla ''[[NetHack]]'' prior to the patch in the form of the [[purple worm]], which will attack any [[shrieker]]s it encounters.{{refsrc|src/mon.c|1562|nethack=3.6.7}} Grudges are expanded on in many [[variant]]s of ''NetHack'', often from a modified version of the patch.
