* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Nymphs, floating eyes, actual bats, and leprechauns, to name but a few.
* [[Tier-Induced Scrappy]]: The Caveman was one of the more maligned roles for a long while, believed to be simply a weaker version of the Barbarian and Valkyrie with few of their relative advantages and more restrictive weapon choices - this often locked them out of most common artifact wishes, and any artifact sacrifice gift would be skillcapped at Basic. That said, their high strength and constitution still make them a strong choice, and the ability to multishot spears and upgrades to weapon options (such as the aklys changes in 3.6.1) [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap|helped mend their reputation]].▼
* [[Scrappy Weapon]]:
** Many weapons in the game end up underused due to the presence of artifacts, but slings in particular are considered junky for even most starting characters - as such, they are only used as a last resort alternative to not having any form of ranged attack at all, due to rocks (the most basic form of sling ammo) being plentiful and easy to gather.

* [[That One Level]]: Gehennom is actually [[Marathon Level|20 to 24 ''consecutive'' Scrappy Levels]]. One of the many additions [[SLASH'EM]] makes is breaking up the monotony of Gehennom with more "special" levels, while [[Sporkhack]] completely revamps Gehennom by (a) giving the local [[Mooks]] some ability to actually threaten the player (b) getting rid of the mazes in favour of caves (with lava behind the cave walls).
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: The [[Horny Devils|foocubi]] and their seduction attacks can easily read as sexual assault or outright ''rape'' to many players, [https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Forum:Homosexual_Foocubi%3F and patching in ways to avert this] have been a notable subject of discussion. For what it's worth, the game has a compile-time option SEDUCE; if not defined, the foocubi's seduction attack becomes a "drain life" attack instead.
