 You may attack any monster you come across, but beware&mdash;they may retaliate. Monsters may be [[pet|tame]], peaceful, or [[hostile]]. They may be in possession of items, either by being [[monster starting inventory|generated with them]] or by [[Pick up#Monsters|picking them up]], which you may claim upon their death. [[Death drop|Other items]], such as their [[corpse]]s, will only be generated when they die. The many species of monsters are grouped into [[monster class]]es, corresponding to their [[ASCII]] symbols.
