List of deep elves

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This page is about the various deep elf monsters. For the player species, see deep elf.

The deep elves are a race of xenophobic subterranean beings with powerful magic, but only mediocre martial prowess. They populate the Elven Halls, and can occasionally be found in the lowest reaches of the Dungeon and some baileys.

Deep Elf Types

e Deep elf fighter- A deep elf soldier with a smattering of magical spells.

e Deep elf knight- A more experienced warrior, much more capable in all ways than mere fighters.

e Deep elf mage- Eccentric spell casters with access to an enormous list of aggravating, occasionally dangerous spells.

e Deep elf conjurer- Combat casters who enjoy draining your experience, destroying your items, and setting you on fire with their spells.

e Deep elf summoner- Fragile summoners who throw small hordes of demons at you.

e Deep elf priest- Worshipers of a dark god capable of smiting you and raising the dead as twisted abominations.

Mostly appear on Elf:3

Strategy

Yes they are pretty dangerous, but they've inherited the deep elf tendency to not exercise, so most of them have less HP than orc knights while wearing much less armour. If your defences and HP are good, and you've brought Freezing cloud or Poisonous cloud, you can drop a fine layer of deadly mist and walk backwards until they inhale themselves silly.

e Deep elf blademaster- Ravenous blenders that mysteriously resemble elves, they are vicious with their short blades.

e Deep elf master archer- Even without magic, they're the deadliest bow-wielders you can find.

e Deep elf death mage- Spooky elves who rapidly deplete your experience with Bolt of Draining and raise the dead.

e Deep elf annihilator- Expert combat casters, known for one-shotting careless adventurers.

e Deep elf demonologist- Masters in the art of calling up horrors from dark places (and in sending nosy adventurers back in exchange).

e Deep elf sorcerer- Yet another deep elf caster, hurling hellfire and Bolts of Draining before casting you into the Abyss.

e Deep elf high priest- Elite deep elf priests capable of summoning demons and blasting you with hellfire.

Unique Elves

Note that there are no actual deep elf uniques. However, the following three unique elves appear in the dungeon.

e Fannar- A cruel elven magistrate with near-perfect mastery of Ice Magic.

e Dowan'and' e Duvessa- Twin elves who appear early on. He specializes in magic, she in swords.

Obsolete Elves

e Deep elf soldier- A meager spell caster armed with a sword or bow he hardly knows how to use. Removed in 0.13.
