In [[SLASH'EM]], the monster glyph {{white|z}} is for [z]outhern or Australian animals, the zruty having been moved to the apelike {{white|Y}} monster class. Below is an overview of the monsters in this new class, all modeled mostly after real-world counterparts. All have a chance to be peaceful if you are [[neutral]], except for the Tasmanian devil.

Zouthern animals are a monster class added in SLASH'EM, represented by the symbol z. (Zruties, which previously occupied this glyph, are merged into the ​Y apelike creature class.) Zouthern animals are generally based on real Australian wildlife. All have a chance to be peaceful if you are neutral, except for the Tasmanian devil.
