I was exploring a level yesterday and found one room with one scroll and another with two scrolls. I hadn't done much exploring so I left the scrolls there hoping to attract some monsters to test to see if they were scare monster scrolls. After wandering around and getting one to chase me, I went to the room with one scroll and it was no longer there. I then went to the room with two scrolls and one of them had dissapeared also. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps a monster was created on top of the scroll causing it to pick it up.

Of source they can pick things up - they have packs of their own, or
at least the humanoid ones (orcs,centaurs,yeti,trolls,etc.) do. The only
thing I know of that they can't pick up is a scare monster scroll.

I believe Ys pick up scrolls etc. I don't know about other monsters.
