Generation
Elvenkings can be generated with any type of elven equipment, and are eligible for offensive, defensive and miscellaneous items. They may be also be generated with a pick-axe (especially on special levels) and, very rarely, a crystal ball. Elf-lords can grow up into Elvenkings.
Outside of normal generation, Elvenkings can be found in throne rooms much deeper in the main branch of the dungeon, and will almost always be sitting on the throne themselves; Elvenkings are also eligible for the summon nasties monster spell. In addition, there is a guaranteed Elvenking with a pick-axe on the Plane of Earth.
Strategy
When dealing with the Wizard of Yendor, if he summons nasties, far look any @ that appear to ensure you are targeting Rodney himself; as it is common practice to zap the Wizard with a death ray at the first opportunity, it especially helps to make sure you don't squander a valuable charge from a wand of death on the wrong target.
The pick-axe from the Elvenking on the Plane of Earth can be used to navigate through the plane, but only consider this if there are little to no other options available; most players should have several wands of digging handy by the time they reach the planes, and the minotaur that also appears will provide another one.
GruntHack
In GruntHack, Elvenkings are replaced by the racial king and queen monsters.
