Personally, I hate blinkdogs far more (at least after I've eaten one
corpse). At least with jackals, rats and spiders, you know what to kill
first. Blinkdogs will summon themselves and once they appear on a level
are likely to blink in again. Besides, they are tougher to begin with,
so those levels they gather start to really hurt. If you're unlucky
enough to have them spawn in SMC, well bye bye (recent painful
memories). I've never had much problem with jackals, but than again, i
avoid killing them as if they are cats ;-)
