Our version has more than one monster assigned to each letter
(e.g.  B is a bat on level 1, bugbear on level 8, Balrog on level
20, etc.), so unfortunately we can't use this neat trick.
Scrolls of genocide kill the monster for the letter given
starting at the wimpiest.  Killing U with the first scroll just
gets rid of Unicorns (which are harmless - in fact they heal
you), and you need a second scroll to get rid of Umber Hulks,
then a third to get rid of Black Unicorns.  And how often do you
find multiple scrolls of Genocide?

Considering how easy it was to have an unlimited number of
different monsters, I'm amazed that the various Super-Rogues
etal. haven't done this.
