In NetHack, the letter B serves the following purposes:

  • It is also used as a direction key:
    • Press b to move south-west if numpad movement is off.
    • Press shift + b to move far south-west if numpad movement is off.

Historical uses

In hack121, a variant of Jay Fenlason's Hack, bats and vampire bats used the b glyph, while the B glyph was used for giant bears. In PDP-11 Hack and Hack 1.0, bats instead use B, with giant beetles using b; this would continue until NetHack 3.0.0, where blobs were moved to b, and giant beetles were moved to a with other insects.
