A Woodland-elf, @, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. It is the weakest of the randomly generated elves. Woodland-elves have a single weapon attack and possess sleep resistance.
Eating a Woodland-elf corpse or tin has a 27% chance of conferring sleep resistance.
Generation
Woodland-elves can generate in small groups. Like many elves, randomly-generated Woodland-elves are sometimes peaceful towards chaotic characters and always peaceful towards player elves.
Woodland-elves are generated with elven equipment using the following odds:[1]
- They have a 1⁄2 chance of generating with either an elven mithril-coat or an elven cloak, and a 1⁄2 chance of generating with an elven leather helm; if they do not generate with the helm, they have a 1⁄4 chance of generating with elven boots.
- They have a 1⁄2 chance of generating with an elven dagger.
- They will also generate with one of the following sets of items, with an equal chance of each set:
- An elven bow and set of elven arrows, a 1⁄4 chance of an elven shield and a 2⁄3 chance of an elven short sword.
- An elven broadsword and a 1⁄2 chance of an elven shield.
- A 1⁄2 chance of an elven spear and accompanying elven shield.
Strategy
Woodland-elves can be surprisingly difficult for early characters that are caught by surprise, but also offer a safe source of sleep resistance.
