Intelligent monsters can make use of attack wands; this includes both very weak monsters, and very powerful wands. In the extreme case, Random Number God will dispatch a gnome that came across 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.
