Historical uses
In hack121, a port of Jay Fenlason's Hack, centaurs use the c glyph, while cockatrices use the C glyph. In PDP-11 Hack and Hack 1.0, the C glyph is given to centaurs, and the b glyph is given to cockatrices. Both monsters retain their glyph for their appearance in Hack 1.0. The cockatrice still uses c as its current glyph, while the centaur retains its C glyph up to NetHack 2.3e.
In NetHack 3.0.0, the centaur monster is replaced with the centaur monster class and the three types of centaur. The cockatrice remains the only monster in its class until NetHack 3.3.0, which adds the chickatrice from NetHack-- 3.0.10 and the pyrolisk from SLASH 6.
In NetHack 3.4.3 and earlier versions, the call command shift + C is used exclusively for naming monsters.
