Useful Info
Plain elves are fairly boring humanoid monsters, only posing a threat if they happen to find a decent weapon before you encounter them. However, they are only ever found in a handful of rare vaults. You are much more likely to encounter a shapeshifter which has assumed the shape of an elf, usually on one of the middle floors of the Dungeon.
Variant Elves
You may encounter a high elf sorcerer while exploring certain vaults. These are only slightly more powerful than elves physically, but they pack dangerous magic. They usually guard a book of Wizardry and non-elemental magical staff.
Spells: Fireball (3d25), Lightning Bolt (3d20), Agony, Summon Elemental, Haste, Invisibility
| This apparently adventurous high elf is just as proficient in magic as its deep elf brethren. |
The same vault may also contain a sludge elf earth mage, which is very familiar except for the Earth Magic theme to its spells. They usually guard a staff of earth and book of the Earth.
Spells: Iron Shot (3d28), Shatter, Lee's Rapid Deconstruction, Petrify, Stoneskin, Blink
| A sludge elf particularly well-attuned to the powers of earth. |
Certain vaults contain members of the obsolete grey elf race, which are basically no different than other elves.
| Once considered a unique species on its own, grey elves are now more properly classified as a sub-species of high elf. Little exists to distinguish them from their high elf cousins, aside from their supposed glamour (which is probably more myth than fact). |
You can find deformed elves, febrile elves, and sickly elves in some of the sealed chambers in Cigotuvi's Fleshworks.
| This poor creature looks hideously deformed. |
Tips & Tricks
- The uniques Dowan, Duvessa, and Fannar are listed simply as "elf" for their species.
- If you see an elf roaming free and it doesn't appear to be part of a vault or have any equipment, it's probably a shapeshifter.
