{{otheruses||the monster|zruty}}
The '''zruty''' is a [[monster class]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]'', and is represented by a lowercase [[z]] glyph ({{white|z}}). Zruties are designated internally by the macro '''S_ZRUTY'''.{{refsrc|include/monsym.h|40|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}

The [[zruty]] is the only member of the monster class.{{refsrc|src/monst.c|976|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}

==History==
The zruty first appears in [[Hack 1.0]].

==Variants==
Variants that include [[zouthern animal]]s, such as [[SLASH'EM]] and [[SpliceHack]], move the zruty to the {{monclass|Y}} monster class to accommodate the repurposed {{white|z}} glyph; the zouthern animal monster class may still use the macro S_ZRUTY to represent them.

===SLASH'EM===
In [[SLASH'EM]], the zruty is moved to the apelike creature monster class to make room for zouthern animals, which still use the macro S_ZRUTY; this also applies to [[SlashTHEM]].

===dNetHack===
[[dNetHack]], as well as [[notdnethack]], adds one new monster to the zruty monster class:

* {{magenta|z}} [[ammit}}

===SpliceHack===
In [[SpliceHack]], zruties are also moved to the apelike creature monster class to make room for zouthern animals, which use the macro S_ZRUTY.

===Hack'EM===
In [[Hack'EM]], zruties are also moved to the apelike creature monster class to make room for zouthern animals, which use the macro S_ZRUTY.
