Elona+ exclusive monster.

Her main trick is Death Song, an ability which tries to apply Word of Death hex (44 turns at the time of version 2.20fix1) to everyone in her field of vision - you, your allies, enemies, even alkonost herself. Because of that, while she can kill you, she can kill herself as well, and because as enemy she is very resistant to every magical element, it may be advisable to just dispel hexes and wait until she dies.

She makes terrible pet for reasons described above: she will word-of-death everyone, including you, which is a Bad Thing. Before version 2.09 and the addition of the Sound Cannonball spell to her repertoire (before that she had a second Nether Roar spell, or, to call this spell by its old name, Nether Wave), however, she could be of interest (if you seal special actions and give her something to disable teleporting, of course) as a pet that has a 60% chance to use a ball spell, the only creatures who can match or beat this being Cthugha and Blizzard Lizard. After the release of version 2.09, her potential is perhaps no longer as good, but nevertheless, she can still be a decent caster pet. Provided you have special actions sealed.

Innately floats, immune to blindness and auto-triggers Word of Death. Has innate resistance (+400) to raw magic.

After recruiting and losing NPC level resistance bonuses, her resistances to magic and other elements is reduced to Strong (10% damage taken) and Weak (57% damage taken), respectively.
