elves
Pointy-eared toymakers
Elves are mythical beings of folklore and fantasy, typically depicted as human-like but with pointed ears, magical powers, and exceptional longevity.
In older traditions, elves ranged from mischievous household spirits to dangerous supernatural creatures.
Modern fantasy, shaped by Tolkien, usually portrays them as tall, graceful, and wise.
Santa's elves are the industrious toymakers of Christmas lore—a quite different image.
Elf is the singular.
