Elfs (or elves) are a sentient humanoid species in the Original Universe.
Description[edit | edit source]
The physical characteristics of elves vary widely, but traits that most elves have in common are pointed ears and some degree of natural magical ability. Elves are spread out across the universe and have no known homeworld or singular place of origin, though it is likely that the species came into being close to the beginning of the universe due to their diaspora and affinity with magic. Elves also have a lifespan significantly longer than most organic species; Aluren Drathir was said to be young for an elf despite being over a century old, and Tyrigosa lived for over 50,000 years. Elves can interbreed with other species, as evidenced by the fact that Genis Sage was a half-elf.
Many elves reside in territories controlled by the the Dominion and are employed by the empire, such as Tae'thelan Bloodwatcher. Other elves include Sirenla/Wren, Karrasaliss, and Nimie Valeroyant.
In human mythology, elves are said to assist Santa Claus in preparing presents for Christmas. When the elf Ezuri attacked Tae'thelan on Ulduar,[1] Klak quipped at the former "So, is this what you guys do when you're not preparing presents for Santa Claus?".[2] In a dubiously canon event, GregF attended a Christmas party thrown by the Users dressed as one of Santa's elves.[3]
