-[[UnNetHack]] introduces a new creature that uses the {{white|R}} glyph:
+In Hack 1.21, which is based on [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]], the giant rat uses the {{white|r}} glyph, and the robber uses the {{white|R}} glyph - in Hack for PDP-11, the {{white|R}} glyph is given to the rust monster. Both monsters retain their glyphs for their appearance in [[Hack 1.0]], and continue to use it throughout each version of the game to the modern day.
