wood-elf

Arboreal fantasy creature

A wood-elf is a mythical being from fantasy literature and games—an elf dwelling in forests rather than cities or underground realms.

Wood-elves are typically portrayed as skilled archers and hunters with deep connections to nature, more reclusive and wild than their high elf cousins: The wood-elves ambushed the travelers from the treetops.
