Axe
An angry Dwarf will throw this at you early in the game, but will miss. Get the Axe to throw at other Dwarves before they kill you with their kives. The axe must be retrieved each time it is thrown.

Bear
A Tool. Found, naturally enough, in the Bear Cave and has a Golden Chain around its neck. Tamed by the Food. Will frighten the Troll away, but is too heavy to cross the bridge over the Chasm.
Bird
One of the Tools. Found, obviously enough, in the Superb Hall/Bird Chamber. Known to be frightened of the Black Rod. One must have the Cage to carry it. Has a limited shelf life before it dies. Used to drive away the Green Snake.

Wicker Cage
Found in the Cobble Crawl - AKA Low Passage. Used to carry the Bird.
Pirate's Chest
One of the Treasures. Found in the Pirate's lair at the Dead End in the Maze of Twisty Little Passages, All Alike together with any Treasures the Pirate stole during the game.
Clam
Found in the Shell Room. Needs the Trident to open it to get the Pearl.
Coins
One of the Treasures. Found in the West Side Chamber.

Dwarf
An angry dwarf will appear sometime early in the game and throw an Axe at you, but will miss. Get the Axe since he and another six dwarves will appear from time to time and throw knives at you. Throw the Axe at them until they are killed.
Diamonds
One of the Treasures. Found in the Hall of Mists, west of the Fissure.

Emerald
Found in the Plover Room. Can be taken out of the room through the narrow entrance, but cannot be taken out using the Magic Word Plover.

Keys
One of the Tools. Found in the Building at the beginning of the game. Used to unlock the Grate. and the Golden Chain.

Lamp
One of the Tools. Found in the Building at the beginning of the game. Can be turned on and off. If its batteries fail one will fall into a hole and die. By my count the batteries last for about 240 turns.
Large Nugget of Gold
One of the Treasures. Found in the Low Room. The nugget is so heavy that one cannot get it up the stairs from the Hall of Mists to the Small Pit.

Magic Words
There are three so far : Plover, Plugh, and XYZZY, and the phrase Fee Fie Foe Foo. Each of them has its own attributes and uses.

Pearl
One of the Treasures. Found by opening the Clam in the Shell Room with the Trident and following it Down through two more rooms.
Persian Rug
One of the Treasures. Found in the Dragon Room.
Pillow
One of the Tools. Found in the Soft Room. Used to protect the Vase by dropping it before the Vase is dropped.
Pirate.
May appear randomly during the game and steals all the Treasure one has at that time. One must find his Chest in his Maze to get full points. There is no point in searching for the Chest until after he has appeared. If the Pirate steals the Golden Eggs or the Trident there is no point in continuing the game - quit and start again.
Plant
One of the Tools. Found in the western pit of the Two Pit Room. It grows to be a Beanstalk which can be climbed when it is given Water twice. Climbing the Plant leads to the Long Narrow Corridor which in turn eventually leads to the Large Low Room.
Plover
One of the three Magic Words.
When said in the Y2 Room transports one and all one's inventory into the Plover Room.

Silver
One of the Treasures. Found in the Low N/S Passage North of the Hall of the Mountain King.
