Nethack again
Paul Graham and Arc

Argh

Sure, the monk was, indeed, a vegetarian to the bitter end:
 You turned to stone in Gehennom on dungeon level 48 with 795070 points,
 and 1497 pieces of gold, after 23635 moves.
 Killer: cockatrice
 

...

Voluntary challenges You were a vegetarian You never hit with a wielded weapon You never genocided any monsters You never polymorphed an object You never changed form You used 11 wishes You did not wish for any artifacts

(The alternative, of course, would have been —and you don't want to read this if you don't want to get at all spoiled about Nethack; though this is a really minor spoiler— eating a lizard corpse, for example. But, alas, vegetarians don't eat lizards, either. (And yes, sure, a potion of acid would have helped too.))
