Hi all. I’m playing a level 13 Half-Orc Warrior in Angband. I noticed something and I am confused. If I go to dungeon LV 13, does that mean the monsters there will also be level 13? How closely do dungeon LVs correspond to monster levels?
Dungeon LV vs Monster Level

Each type of monster has a native depth associated with it. Generally, a monster with a depth of x can appear at level x of the dungeon or deeper. When you recall the details about a monster with a depth of x it will say "is normally found at depths of y feet (level x)" where y is 50 times x.
There is a chance that a monster can appear at shallower levels than its native depth. Certain types of rooms can contain such "out of depth" monsters and, even without those rooms, around 4% of monster will be "out of depth".
The town and its residents are exceptions to those rules. The town's residents have a native depth of zero and will not appear in the dungeon. "Out of depth" monsters do not appear in the town unless you do something there like use a staff of summoning or a rod of polymorph.
