Reference

monst.c#line3128

The High-elf is a defunct monster that appeared in NetHack, and can still be found in the source code. High-elves were the quest guardians for the Elf quest.

SLASH'EM
High-elves are also present in the source code of SLASH'EM, where they are grouped with other elves rather than the quest guardians, but are still never randomly generated. It is possible to polymorph into one, however.
High-elves in SLASH'EM have a base level of 7, and they are lawful rather than chaotic like their NetHack counterparts.
