Historical uses
In Hack 1.21, which is based on Jay Fenlason's Hack, the evil eye (not to be confused with the evil eye in later NetHack variants) uses the e glyph, while the energar uses the E glyph. In Hack for PDP-11 and Hack 1.0, the e glyph is given to the ettin, and the E glyph is given to the floating eye. its growth stages—the demon is moved to the ampersand glyph, &. These glyphs remain unchanged up to the release of NetHack 2.3e.
In NetHack 3.0.0, the freezing sphere is moved to e and used to form the eye or sphere monster class with the floating eye, while the four elementals are introduced and given the E glyph, and the ettin is moved to the giant humanoid monster class at H.
