If you should locate a ring of armor protection, rust monsters can
prove to be extremely useful pets.  Don't bash them.  Instead take
them along with you while you explore levels.  If you should 
encounter a Troll or a Quasit or what have you, they swap hits on
you with the Rust Monster, and since the Rust Monster can't hurt
you, you get a free shot at the real nasty. Then, when you're about
to change levels, do them in.
