One of the more inane features of rogue 5.3 is the -d flag.  When you invoke
rogue -d, it kills you right away, prints out a tombstone, and tries to add
you to the score file.  It selects some small number of gold for you, a
level where you died, and a cause of death.  The amount of gold is always
something small, ranging from about 2 to 90.  The level, which appears only
if you make the score file, is typically something credible like level 53.
The cause of death is either a random monster (Aquator, Bat, Centaur, ...),
a weapon (arrow, bolt, dart, ...), or a medical phenomenon (hypothermia,
starvation, ...).

Or you can be killed by "a Wally the Wonder Badger".

Does anybody know anything about "Wally the Wonder Badger"?
