-Groups of elf-lords can be quite dangerous to a mid-game character: Elf-lords that have a bow and arrows can pepper you with them repeatedly from a distance with their two weapon attacks, and their status as a [[M2_LORD|lord]] to their kind allows them to [[multishot]] the arrows, which can easily rack up significant damage. Furthermore, they may generate with potions of {{! of|gain level}} that they can use to become stronger Elvenkings.

Furthermore, they may generate with [[potions of gain level]] that they can use to become stronger Elvenkings with even better multishot.
 As a monster that can be generated via summon nasties, they are not as dangerous as an Elvenking, but their ability to ignore [[Elbereth]] like most elves makes them more difficult to drive off than other monsters.
