 '''Eladrin''' are chaotic angels in [[dNetHack]]. Each type has a humanoid form and an energy form. They will shift to the energy form once their HP drops below 50%, and may return to their humanoid forms once their HP goes back above 50%. Eladrin typically don't drop their equipment when changing to their energy form, and will re-equip their weapons and armor automatically as they return to their humanoid forms. Eladrin are typically highly resistant to physical damage. In their humanoid form, they are protected by their armor, in energy form they take {{frac|4}} base weapon damage. All Eladrin but Tulani can appear in throne rooms, with an elvenking/elvenqueen presiding over. Some of the types of Eladrin are generated on the Planes as well.

 Tulani make good pets, as they are human sized and start with good equipment.  They are not generated with a weapon of any kind, so you may need to give them a mattock or two-handed sword.  One high-caste Eladrin is always generated on the [[Plane of Water]].

+It shouldn't be any surprise that there are eladrins who devote themselves to art, music, and magic. The firres (pronounced feers) are creatures who live for beauty; their lives are consumed by a fiery passion for art of any kind, and they strive to make their own existence a living image of wonder and delight.

+The firre eladrins live as wandering minstrels and bards in Arborea, attending the courts of more powerful eladrins or tarrying to entertain a circle of coures in a forgotten dell. Their pursuit of beauty leads them to any place where art, skill, or grace is held in high esteem. A body could run across a firre traveling the Outlands or visiting the palaces of neutral-aligned powers just as easily as he'd find one in Arborea. Firres have a deep love and appreciation of mortal art, and often embark on lengthy sojourns on the Prime Material Plane to seek out works of excellence.

+In their demihuman, firre eladrins resemble stocky elves with brilliant red hair and fiery red eyes. At first glance, a firre might be taken for a half-elf, but her eyes give her away; they have no iris or pupil, and glow brightly with the firre's inner flame. Firres can also transform themselves into man-size pillars or balls of fire.
