In NetHack, the letter G serves the following purposes:
- g represents a gremlin:
- g gremlin
- g gargoyle
- g winged gargoyle
- G represents a gnome:
- G gnome
- G gnome lord
- G gnomish wizard
- G gnome king
- If numpad movement is off:
- Pressing g or shift + g activates go mode, and pressing a direction key afterward will cause you to move in that direction until you encounter the wall, a monster, or something else interesting.
Historical uses
In Hack 1.21, which is based on Jay Fenlason's Hack, goblins use the g glyph, while grabbers use the G glyph. In Hack for PDP-11, the g glyph is given to the gelatinous cube, while the G glyph is given to the gnome. Both monsters retain the glyph for their appearance in Hack 1.0.
The gelatinous cube continues to use the g glyph through NetHack 2.3e—in NetHack 3.0.0, it is moved to b with the other blobs. The gnome retains its glyph, and NetHack 3.0.0 adds the other gnomish monsters to the monster class.
Variants
SLASH'EM
SLASH'EM introduces gnolls alongside other new monsters that use the g and G glyphs:

- G gnome or gnoll:
