Galadhrim Elf

"They were clad in shadowy-grey, and could not be seen among the tree-stems, unless they moved suddenly."

- The Fellowship of the Ring

Galadhrim Elves are a class of elves that inhabit the forests of Lothlórien and are well known for their skill with bows. They are masters of the forests that they inhabit, living on the ground and in treehouses far above. Galadhrim Elves, along with the Wood-Elves of Mirkwood, have a long-running feud with the Dwarvish race.

Galadhrim Elves can be male or female, with a variety of different skins, and each one has a randomly selected Elven name. They have 30 HP or 15 hearts, making them slightly tougher to kill than "mere mortals."

Unlike Galadhrim warriors, regular Galadhrim Elves do not wear armor. They may still be hired from a Galadhrim lord, however, if the player has +200 alignment with Lothlórien and at least 15 silver coins.

Behavior
Galadhrim Elves will wander randomly around their forest home and in their tree-top houses. Galadhrim Elves are not afraid to attack creatures of evil using a mallorn bow at long range, and they will close in for the kill with a mallorn sword.

A Galadhrim Elf’s reaction to you, and the things they say, depends on your alignment; Galadhrim Elves will not react well to an evil trespasser in their forest! Their accuracy with a bow is much greater than that of other mobs, so evil players should be wary of entering the Golden Wood.

Spawning
Galadhrim Elves have spawning mechanics similar to hostile mobs. In the Lothlórien biome, Galadhrim Elves will spawn and despawn continuously, keeping the population of the forest at a constant level - however, Galadhrim Elves who live in Elven treehouses do not despawn. Galadhrim Elves will only spawn on grass blocks.

A type of special Elf is the Galadhrim trader and his/her retinue. These traveling Elves will spawn for a certain amount of time in biomes aside from their own.

Drops
Galadhrim Elves drop arrows and Elf bones when killed, and they will sometimes drop the weapon they are using. On rare occasions, they will also drop uncommon Elvish items such as miruvor and lembas.
