A squealer, q, is a type of monster that appears in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. The squealer, Q, also appears in Hack'EM. Squealers are carnivorous animals that emit shrieks while attacking similar to shriekers, and these shrieks have a 18 chance of summoning a random monster.[1] In Hack'EM, they also have infravision

A squealer has a claw attack, two bite attacks, and a sting attack that causes wounded legs.

A squealer corpse is poisonous to eat.

Generation

Squealers are always created hostile, and will not appear in Gehennom. They can be generated in small groups.

Strategy

Squealers are slow at 9 speed, but their leg-wounding sting and tendency to appear in groups make them notably annoying.
