==Historical uses==
In Hack for PDP-11, a variant of [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]], with the exception of the player, shopkeepers and treasurers used the {{white|@}} glyph. In [[Hack 1.0]], shopkeepers and guards use the {{white|@}} glyph.

==Variants==
Variants that add new roles will also add corresponding [[player monster]]s, as well as [[quest guardian]]s, leaders and nemeses, that often use the {{white|@}} glyph. Variants with [[racial monster]]s will have those monsters use a glyph that matches their race - humans, elves and other applicable races will appear as {{white|@}}.
