-[[SLASH'EM]] introduces new creatures that use the {{white|i}} glyph:
+In Hack 1.21, a variant of [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]], ice balls used the {{white|i}} glyph - the {{white|I}} glyph was not yet assigned to a monster.<!--far as the wiki article itself indicates, anyway--> In the variant Hack for PDP-11, the {{white|i}} glyph is given to the [[imp]], while the {{white|I}} glyph is given to the [[invisible stalker]] - both monsters retain their glyph for their appearance in [[Hack 1.0]], with the invisible stalker being given its current name to avoid redundancy when reporting actions related to invisible monsters.
-*{{white|i}} imp or minor demon:
+The imp retains the {{white|i}} glyph to the current day, while the invisible stalker used the {{white|I}} glyph as late as [[NetHack 3.2.3]]; in [[NetHack 3.3.0]], the glyph is given its current use, and the stalker is moved to the [[elemental]] [[monster class]], {{white|E}}.
