# Forum:Help! Nethack does not recognize mind flayer for scroll of genocide
I have 2 blessed scrolls of genocide, and I try to enter in "mind flayer", "mind flayers", "mindflayer", "mindflayers", "master mind flayer", "master mindflayer", "master mind flayers", "master mindflayers" and nethack does not recognize any of these. What do I need to do to get rid of mindflayers? And I am a dwarf, so h is out.&lt; Forum:Watercooler

blessed scrolls require a class. You cannot give them individual monsters. The only way to genocide a mind flayer via blessed genocide is by genociding h, which you can't do. Genocide something else, and come back for mind flayers later. -- Qazmlpok 12:00, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
