New items appear, but not monsters?

[Zambaku]

I've found several of my custom items in game now. But still none of my monsters has shown up. I'm starting to think I did something wrong. Any thoughts?

B:HIT:HURT:1d5

Are you sure your T and C lines are correct? Also, EAT_ITEM is stealing stuff, not eating it, 9 is infernally slow, and slow monsters with 1d5 damage attacks twice are way too easy.

I believe they are correct:

N:Crawling Hand
G:M
M:2
F:EVIL
F:OPEN_DOOR | BASH_DOOR
F:| NO_CONF
D:Crawling Hand

N:Giant Head
G: O
M:1
D:Giant Head

N:Giant Dwarf
G: D
M:1
F:OPEN_DOOR | BASH_DOOR
D:Giant Dwarf

It is possible that game is picky with syntax, first one has "|" in beginning of F: line, and next two have space between G: and symbol.

There are also extra spaces in actual monster entries.

I think you should check the Giant Dwarf I: line, like Philip said 9 is infernally slow: normal speed player get 10 moves to each of its moves. 9 is -101 speed. You could haste is six times before it had any effect.
