      But the lack of swapping can sometime really block, with, for example,  this

      You would like to go to the exit on the bottom-right, and the wyvern is

      In this case, swapping would work fine, but if the ground on the bottom-left

  There are certainly many cases where swapping would work with big monsters - 
especially monsters that are 1x2 or 2x1.  It's just doing the necessary checking 
for such cases would get quite tricky.

      Yes I know you can kill it, but it's perhaps not really a good idea to be

  I'm presuming when you banish your creature, it just disappears?

  I see no reason not to add such a command - it would be easy enough to do - 
especially if a banish got rid of all your pets.  It could also be useful when 
your gone from the dungeon and are back in town - may not need your pets 
anymore, but having them dance around you can be annoying.
