In NetHack, the letter U serves the following purposes:
- u represents a unicorn or horse:
- u white unicorn
- u gray unicorn
- u black unicorn
- u pony
- u horse
- u warhorse
- U represents an umber hulk, which is the only member of the umber hulk monster class.
- In the source code, the structure named u contains all the player-specific variables. See you.h, line 256 for the structure definition.
