List of deep elves
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 other Dungeon branches, especially in the Vaults.
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 you and setting you on fire with their spells.
e Deep elf summoner- Fragile summoners who throw small hordes of vermin 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
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 drain you 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.
Trivia
In late December, online Crawl servers give these opponents festive Santa hats. Why a mere elf would be wearing a Santa hat is beyond me.
