In NetHack, the letter G serves the following purposes:
- g represents a gremlin:
- g gremlin
- g gargoyle
- g winged gargoyle
- G represents a gnome:
- G gnome
- G gnome lord
- G gnomish wizard
- G gnome king
- If numpad movement is off:
- Pressing g or shift + g activates go mode, and pressing a direction key afterward will cause you to move in that direction until you encounter the wall, a monster, or something else interesting.
Historical uses
In Hack 1.21, a variant of Jay Fenlason's Hack, goblins used the g glyph, while grabbers used the G glyph. In the variant Hack for PDP-11, the g glyph is given to the gelatinous cube, while the G glyph is given to the gnome. Both monsters retain the glyph for their appearance in Hack 1.0.
The gelatinous cube continued to use the g glyph through NetHack 2.3e; in NetHack 3.0.0, it is moved to b with the other blobs. The gnome retains its glyph, and other gnomish monsters are added to the monster class.
Variants

SLASH'EM introduces gnolls alongside other new monsters that use the g and G glyphs:
