I would love to see this in one of the future versions of vanilla! Several thoughts, though:

  • I think & is not as illegible as all the other punctuation marks, plus this marking for demons is quite traditional. However, ampersand is also quite a crowded symbol. So, what about moving all normal demons and devils to I, but leaving demon lords on &, changing their colors to make them distinct from each other? Just as you have Juiblex &, you could have other demon lords colored differently from each other, and maybe even leave Riders on ampersand and color each of them with distinct color.
  • Maybe blobs and jellies could be united under j (jellies and gelatinous creatures) rather than b? Many roguelikes use j for all jellies, oozes etc. (eg. Angband, ADOM, most modern 7DRLs), so it would come naturally to players that all gelatinous creatures are now j. And you would have b freed up for eg. bears (I like bears, I would love to see them in NetHack).
