Ratling duelist is a type of monster in ADOM. They are very nasty opponents for PCs that depend on fighting with weapons, as they can disarm their opponents and their attacks always penetrate armor. Due to their speed, they are usually able to disarm and wound the PC in the same turn, which can create a frustrating cycle of pain as long as the PC keeps re-equipping weapons. Ratling duelists can easily be dealt with using special attacks like magic or mindcraft; though PCs that have advanced enough skill levels with their weapon might manage to hold onto it in a fight with a duelist, or just kill them before they can attack.
