A peasant is a monster that appears in dNetHack and SlashTHEM.

Generation

Peasants are not randomly generated in either variant.

dNetHack

Peasants appear as the quest guardians of the Binder quest - unusually, they are found within the locate level, rather than on the home level with the quest leader. Various peaceful and hostile peasants also appear on many levels of the default Noble quest.

Peasants are generated armed with one of the following items: a sickle, scythe, knife, club, axe, or voulge (which are all weapons derived from farming implements).[1]

SlashTHEM

In addition to appearing on the default Noble quest, the Town has five peaceful peasants that appear in the village at the top floor.

Strategy

dNetHack

Peasants are relatively slow and weak - the rebellious ones in the Noble quest pose little threat to the player, except possibly in combination with each other and with the other hostile @ that appear on the quest. The weapons they drop will be of little use to a well-equipped Noble.
