Historical uses

In Hack 1.21, a variant of Jay Fenlason's Hack, lizards used the l glyph, while rock lobsters used the L glyph; in the variant Hack for PDP-11, the l glyph is instead given to the leocrotta, while the L glyph is given to the leprechaun. Both monsters retain the glyph for their appearance in Hack 1.0, and continued to use those glyphs up to NetHack 2.3e.

In NetHack 3.0.0, the quarduped monster class is introduced and uses the q glyph; the leocrotta is made part of the quarduped monster class, while the lich monster class is introduced and given the l glyph in its place. In NetHack 3.0.6, the glyphs of the leprechaun and lich monster classes were exchanged, resulting in their current glyphs.
