An elf is a monster in NetHack that normally acts as the base for the corpse left by killing an elf zombie or elf mummy. The elf monster has a much higher base level and difficulty rating than the other "base form" monsters associated with a race; specifically, it has the same difficulty as that of player monsters, which may be related to the elf role in previous versions.
Eating an elf corpse or a tin of its meat has a 67% of conveying sleep resistance, the highest of all elves.
Generation
Normal elves are not randomly generated. It can only be created by zapping a wand of undead turning at an elf corpse that is not left by a elf zombie or mummy, or else reading a cursed scroll of genocide while confused as an elven player.
Strategy
Despite being the most reliable source of sleep resistance, elf corpses are usually left by undead and thus pose a high risk of food poisoning; however, they can be safely tinned and eaten with a tinning kit.
Encyclopedia entry
The Elves sat round the fire upon the grass or upon the sawn rings of old trunks. Some went to and fro bearing cups and pouring drinks; others brought food on heaped plates and dishes.
"This is poor fare," they said to the hobbits; "for we are lodging in the greenwood far from our halls. If ever you are our guests at home, we will treat you better."
"It seems to me good enough for a birthday-party," said Frodo. Pippin afterwards recalled little of either food or drink, for his mind was filled with the light upon the elf-faces, and the sound of voices so various and so beautiful that he felt in a waking dream. [...]
Sam could never describe in words, nor picture clearly to himself, what he felt or thought that night, though it remained in his memory as one of the chief events of his life. The nearest he ever got was to say: "Well, sir, if I could grow apples like that, I would call myself a gardener. But it was the singing that went to my heart, if you know what I mean."
