#chatting with shriekers

It also produces the message "The shrieker shrieks." Does anyone know if this can also create monsters, or is it just the attack? -Ion frigate 10:07, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Just found it, it aggravates monsters but doesn't have a chance to summon. I think I'll add that to the article. -Ion frigate 08:36, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Do they really summon?

Do shriekers really summon anything, i.e. is the summoning code runnable? In my entire NetHack gaming career, it has not happened a single time. And I was playing a lot of low-level pacifists. --Tjr 13:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
