An Elvenqueen, @, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. Elvenqueens are female counterparts to Elvenkings that have somewhat distinct traits: they possess much fewer physical attacks and lack the ability to twoweapon, but have the ability to cast monster spells.

Elvenqueens have a single weapon attack and the ability to cast one mage monster spell during each of their turns, and possess sleep resistance.

Eating an Elvenqueen corpse or tin, or quaffing her blood, grants temporary sleep resistance for a duration of 5,250 turns before physical size modifiers.

Generation

Elvenqueens are not randomly generated. An elf-lady can grow up into an Elvenqueen.

An Elvenqueen can appear as the ruler of a randomly-generated throne room—her court can contain elf-lords, elf-ladies, Grey-elves, Green-elves, Woodland-elves, quicklings, dryads, naiads, Coure Eladrin, Noviere Eladrin, Bralani Eladrin, Firre Eladrin, Shiere Eladrin, doppelgangers, and wood trolls. The prisoners within her throne room may be any of the following monsters:

• watchmen
• watch captains
• knights
• nobles (separate slot for each gender)
• drow captains
• drow matrons
• shadowsmiths
• hobbits
• dwarves
• dwarf clerics
• dwarf lords
• dwarf smiths
• hill orcs
• orc shamans
• orc-captains
• Angband orcs
• unearthly drow
• lilitu
• mariliths
• mirkwood spiders
• mirkwood elders
• deminymphs

Elvenqueens can appear as prisoners in throne rooms ruled by an ogre king, an orc of the ages of stars or the Avatar of Lolth, and can also appear as prisoners in the Castle throne room.

Elvenqueens can generate in the Mordor Ruins Quest:

• The River Ford level in the Mordor Ruins Quest has a ¹⁄₄ chance of generating an Elvenqueen in the forest on the west side.
• An Elvenqueen is always generated at the edge of the Elven Forest level accompanied by an elf-lord, an elf-lady and two Firre Eladrin, and leads a group of Grey-elves against a Nazgul-led horde of Mordor orcs and other monsters.
