Historical uses
In Hack 1.21, a variant of Jay Fenlason's Hack, the xyloman used the x glyph, while the xerp used the X glyph. In Hack for PDP-11, the X glyph is instead given to the xorn, while the xerp is moved to the x glyph. In Hack 1.0, the xerp is replaced by the xan as the monster using the x glyph.
