   My favorite candidates for genocide are, in order:
  
        1. Cockatrices (c) - there is nothing like stepping inside 
                             a room and getting the message, "The
                             cockatrice hits --More--" "You turn to
                             stone --More--" "You die...", to end an
                             otherwise happy hack game.
 
        2. Xans (x) - being a packrat myself, nothing annoys me more
                      than a reduced ability to cart stuff around; you 
                      never know when those 3 potions of blindness 
                      might come in handy.  I'm campaigning for wheel-
                      barrows.
   
        3. Nymphs (N) - they can also me game-enders.  Especially if
                        one takes all your armor, weapons and wands, as
                        happened to me once. Also they don't seem to 
                        carry things, as they do in rogue.  Most tragic
                        incidents with them, however, are due to care-
                        lessness.
 
You will notice that none of these monsters are the heavy hitters in terms
of damage or experience points.  This is because the game is neither chal-
lenging nor fun without them and because a good character will be able to 
deal with them anyway, if it is going to have a chance of winning.
 
P.S. If you have extras, you might want to consider:
 
        4. Rust monsters (R) - flighty, obnoxious armor-hosers
        5. Acid blobs (a) - obstructions at best, weapon-destroyers at worst.
        6. Shopkeepers (@) - just joking.
