Arrows of *foo* slaying are missiles that can be fired with bow-class missile weapons. There are 7 variations of slaying arrows, each corresponding to one of the monster types (except plants and insects). Using slaying arrows against monsters of the corresponding type will result in a guaranteed critical hit with an increased damage bonus compared to standard missile critical hits. The overall damage modifier of slaying ammunition can thus range from 3x to 6x.
Arrows of *foo* slaying can be wished for but cannot be generated with extra missile suffixes or prefixes. They also cannot be created through Fletchery.

Desirability[]
Arrows of humanoid/demon slaying are highly valuable in the late game and against the majority of bosses. Undead/dragon/construct/giant slaying arrows are less applicable although still valuable in some locations. Arrows of jelly slaying appear to be of least value to most players since jellies are quite rare and not particularly dangerous, but they can be effective against masses of primal chaos on d:50.
