The light monster class contains monsters represented by y:

Characteristics

All lights will explode in your direction if you are adjacent, permanently destroying the light; this causes a status afflication, but does no other damage. As lights cannot see invisible, if you are invisible or displaced, they may explode at an empty square with no effect on you.

A light's explosion creates noise that can wake nearby monsters.

Body parts

Lights have a special hard-coded set of body parts, with "hand" replaced with "ray", "handed" replaced with "rayed", and all other body parts replaced with "beam".[1]
