History
The apelike creatures first appear in NetHack 3.0.0, which introduces the ape and carnivorous ape. From this version to NetHack 3.1.0, the monster class uses the uppercase A glyph, A, and is designated internally with the macro S_APE - NetHack 3.1.0 moves apelike creatures to their current glyph, merging the yeti into the monster class and repurposing its macro.
