The brownie is a small fairy-like creature that appears in SLASH'EM. It is essentially a spellcasting counterpart to the nymph; like nymphs, brownies are always generated asleep, and when awake, they are fast and possess spells such as destroy armor and curse items, on top of being able to steal items and teleport away. They also have many more hit dice than the typical nymph, although they only have one seduction attack.
Strategy
Brownies are often best avoided - while not a particularly powerful threat, they are generally not worth the risk of having items cursed, stolen or, in the case of armor, destroyed. The destroy armor and curse items spells in particular make it well worth checking if that n is a brownie or a mountain nymph. If dealing with an awakened brownie, they can be dispatched most safely using available ranged weapons and/or Elbereth; even with magic resistance, allowing them to get within melee range can potentially lead to the brownie whisking its source out of your hands.
