Intelligent monsters can be generated with attack wands; this includes both very weak monsters, and very powerful wands. In the extreme case, Random Number God will dispatch a gnome with a wand of death – a proverbial unfair way to die. In the webcomic Dudley's dungeon, this gnome is formally named the Gnome With The Wand Of Death, or GWTWOD.

Such well-armed creatures sometimes appear very early in the game when the player has no means of defense, especially in the Gnomish Mines. However, if you were killed by a killer bee or soldier ant, then you do not need to worry about monsters with wands.

Tip: Whenever you find an unknown wand on the floor, take it and add it to your inventory. Do not make the mistake of allowing some kobold to later grab that wand and zap you with lightning.
