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.
