Historical uses

In hack121 and PDP-11 Hack, variants of Jay Fenlason's Hack, acid blobs and giant ants used the a and A glyphs respectively, and continued to from Hack 1.0 to NetHack 2.3e.

NetHack 3.1.0 introduces the angelic being monster class and gives them the A glyph, moving apelike creatures to Y.
