* CantSeeADamnThing: Quaffing a potion of blindness would bring the message "A cloak of darkness falls around you". It was still possible to move about, but you would have to try different directions to find doors. Monsters would be referred to as "it". The effect would lift after a long time, or by quaffing a potion of healing, or see invisible.

* MobileShrubbery: The xeroc (Rogue's answer to D&D's mimic) disguises itself as an innocent item, and reveals itself when the player tries to pick it up. But if the player reads a scroll of aggravate monster, or is wearing a ring of aggravate monster, the xeroc will move toward him ''without dropping its disguise.'' It can be somewhat disconcerting to see a potion marching toward you. (It's even more disconcerting if the xeroc was disguised as a staircase....)

Changed phrasing to be clearer. After all there are plenty of roguelikes that do not have "Rogue" in the title, including Net Hack, which is probably the most famous pure roguelike.
