Searching through deep nethack hides of my brain... Is there a purple :? Nooo, errr, I need to play more. Doesn't matter actually, the idea is good anyway.

Purple : by analogy with purple L and purple h, I guess. It's not really all that funny, and it doesn't work as a newt joke because Dudly actually kills the newt.

Newt-king, maybe? Newt of Yendor?

I'd watch out for the Newt of Yendor. He carries the dread Newtonomicon, a tome of fell and awesome newtly power.

It's a newt king, the leader of them all!

Did someone say "Newtley"?

Purple : because of this source code comment in monst.c: [...] * Guidelines for color assignment: * * * Use the same color for all `growth stages' of a monster (ex. * little dog/big dog, baby naga/full-grown naga. * * * Use colors given in names wherever possible. If the class has `real' * members with strong color associations, use those. * * * Favor `cool' colors for cold-resistent monsters, `warm' ones for * fire-resistent ones. * * * Try to reserve purple (magenta) for powerful `ruler' monsters (queen * bee, kobold lord, &c.) * * * Subject to all these constraints, try to use color to make as many * distinctions as the / command (that is, within a monster letter * distinct names should map to distinct colors). * * The aim in assigning colors is to be consistent enough so a player can * become `intuitive' about them, deducing some or all of these rules * unconsciously. Use your common sense. */
