Some monster (a boss? The Wizard of Yendor? Imps?) will use custom taunts against you that are taken from checking the logfile for the last three or four ways you died.

This could also be implemented as non-verbal taunts where the monster uses the way you died against you - e.g. if you died to a zombie, they will summon zombies; if you fell into a pit, they will create a pit underneath you, etc.

Imps’ taunting wakes up monsters nearby.

Cut down on the list of inediate monsters by defining some of them to be either herbivorous or carnivorous (note that the game uses carnivorous to mean “can eat meat” rather than “only eats meat”).

Herbivores:

• Killer bee and queen bee
• All types of nymph

Carnivores:

• Salamanders
• Kops
• Imps, homunculi, tengu, and leprechaun

When an imp says “Look! Thy bootlace is undone!”, he might tie your shoes together and cause you to fumble for d10 turns.
