These messages also humorously appear when you are [[polymorph]]ed into a monster capable of one of the first two forms of hiding (or after eating a [[mimic]] corpse); in this case, it will address the monster attempting to walk where you are hiding (''Wait, foo! That gold is really a <role> named <player>!'').
