In the source code of NetHack, every monster is flagged as making some type of monster sound. While the primary use of this flag is to determine the results of chatting with a monster, it is also internally used for numerous other purposes, most notably to distinguish quest leaders, quest guardians, and quest nemeses from other monsters.
