Various monsters from Nethack--, Nethack: The Next Generation, UnNetHack, the Pirate patch, the Jedi patch, the Biodiversity patch and the role/racial monsters from Slash'EM Extended were added. A few other extras.

  • music:

More monsters can now sing along with a bard (from dNethack) magical instruments can now be used as their non-magical equivalents for music spells. Creatures can now counter music. Friendship song now also raises the tameness of normal pets. Encouragement song now has a longer duration, causes pets to be more bold about attacking strong targets, and adds to-hit and damage to pets. Rally song raises pet HP to at least the pet's current Level if played while Skilled, and raises apport if lower than 10 if Expert. the 20 roll is adjusted to give the same average as the flat score, rather than added as a bonus. Songs are now sorted by level. Drunks, Monks, Noblemen, Priests and Samurai can reach Basic in Music; Tourists can reach Skilled. Renamed the Song of Drowsiness to the Song of Lethargy (change from dNethack)
