In NetHack, an omnivore is a monster that, when tamed, is capable of eating comestibles suitable for carnivores or herbivores — in practice, this means eggs, corpses, veggy food, and any other non-tin food items. Many humanoid monsters are omnivorous.

This is not to be confused with the ability of carnivorous or herbivorous pets to eat food outside of their normal diet when sufficiently hungry.
