elvish

Like mythical helpers

Elvish describes things resembling or relating to elves—the small, magical creatures of folklore and fantasy.

Something elvish has a mischievous, otherworldly, or delicately supernatural quality: an elvish grin, elvish features.

The word carries connotations of playfulness and enchantment.

In fantasy literature and gaming, elvish often refers to the culture, appearance, or languages of elves: elvish architecture, speaking elvish. (Capitalized Elvish typically refers to Tolkien's constructed languages.)
