You are thinking of Tolkien elves.

Elf and fairy are both vague terms that mean more or less the same thing. Folk creatures aren't really as clear cut as they are in RPGs.

You are fucking retarded. Elves existed in folklore way before Tolkien, and had nothing to do with LOTR stuff.

They were small, nasty and evil.
>>
>>144340237
>evil.
They were more like tricksters.

Elf and fairy are the same word in Japanese - 妖精 (yousei).

From wikipedia:
>In English literature of the Elizabethan era, elves became conflated with the fairies of Romance culture, so that the two terms began to be used interchangeably.

Modern use of "elf" is often associated with tolkien "elves" which were a humanoid race, but they were not always seen that way and some german and norse stories depict them as monsters.

NOPE.


LOTR elves are from tolkien's furry mind.

Tolkien was a terrible hack.

Shouldn't this be obvious by now?

That's giants, Norse elves were dwarves.
>>
>>144344097
Nope, well, sometimes, but the elves of Alfheimr certainly weren't dwarfs.
>>
>>144344269
Well obviously Light Dwarfs would have to be different somehow.

There's two types of elves.
The Pretty-boy Elf are the Light Elves, while Dwarves are Dark Elves.

The oldest description of what we could call an Elf AFaIK are those from Norse mythology, in which they were semi-divine creatures.
