==Historical uses==

In Hack 1.21, based on [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]], [[stalactoid]]s use the {{white|s}} glyph, while [[snowmen]] use the {{white|S}} glyph. In Hack for PDP-11, the {{white|l}} is given to the [[giant scorpion]], while the {{white|S}} glyph is given to the [[snake]] - the snake retains its glyph for its appearance in [[Hack 1.0]], while the giant scorpion is replaced with the regular [[scorpion]]. Both monsters continue to use those glyphs up to [[NetHack 2.3e]].

In [[NetHack 3.0.0]], the arachnid or centipede [[monster class]] is introduced and uses the {{white|s}} glyph, with the scorpion made part of the monster class, while the snake monster class is introduced and given the {{white|S}} glyph.
