{{varquestmon|Doctor Archer|Madperson|nemesis|dNetHack|notdNetHack|notnotdNetHack}}. He is a [[Human or elf|human]] that guards the [[Bell of Opening]] and the path to the Madperson's [[quest artifact]], [[The Star of Hypernotus]]—upon recovering their quest artifact, however, a Madperson will discover [[Stranger|a new primary threat to their well-being]].

Doctor Archer is a [[strong]] [[Human (monster attribute)|human]] that will pick up [[magical item]]s and other objects he comes across, can be seen via [[infravision]], and will wait for the hero to approach, in addition to other standard quest nemesis traits. He is [[covetous]] and capable of warping, and desires the [[hero]]'s quest artifact. Doctor Archer has all 10 points of [[AC]] in the 'special' category, and has 10 points of natural [[DR|damage reduction]].

Doctor Archer has a [[sleep]]-inducing [[touch attack]], a weapon attack, an offhand weapon attack, and a claw attack that can steal the quest artifact if the hero somehow obtains it without killing him. He possesses [[fire resistance]] and [[stoning resistance]].

==Generation==
Doctor Archer is always created hostile, and is not a valid polymorph form or genocide target.

For Madpeople, Doctor Archer is always generated [[meditating]] on the center square within the eastern room of the [[Madman quest]] goal level at level creation, with the Bell of Opening in his possession.
