Sun elf

Sun elves from Dungeons & Dragons.

Elves or elfs are a humanoid race in many fantasy settings. They tend to be more graceful and more magically attuned than humans, inspired by their appearance in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth (from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) and other literature of the time (such as Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword), which were themselves inspired by fairies and elfs of English and Germanic folklore.

Elves are a common race for player characters in role-playing games, having been used in Dungeons & Dragons since its original 1974 edition, when they appeared as a character class before becoming a separate playable race in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

Elves have also appeared in numerous other games and settings, such as Torg.
