There is at least one: Farmer Maggot. If you get him while you're still wimpy he takes FOREVER to kill.

Yup...I chased him around the store forever once with a dagger. Finally realized he wasn't ever going to fall...stepped into the store and bought a main gauche....went back after him and he fell a few turns later.

Sting is always nice, but don't underestimate Lotharang: the activation is amazing, and recharges really quickly.

I had a bit the same scenario today with Ar-Pharazon. He dropped:
- the Metal Brigandine Armour of the Rohirrim
- the Quarterstaff 'Nar-i-vagil'
- a pair of Sandals of Speed +10

Another of those experiences today, all on the same level, at clvl 36 dlvl 49:
- vault (Forasgil, Elros)
- Shelob
- Ariel
- Smaug
- Scatha (Cammithrim)

and finally Ithangast with Nimthanc, Hithlomir, Oromë and... Cubragol.

One unique, 4 artifacts, 3 upgrades, can't complain

How wonderful! Now, beware the RNG gods. They will want payback.

In another instance my mage found a Robe of Permanence and Boots of Speed +4 of dlvl 7.
