wood elf

Sylvan mythical being

A wood elf is a fantasy creature—an elf who dwells in forests and possesses nature-oriented abilities.

In folklore and fantasy games like Dungeons & Dragons, wood elves are typically skilled archers and trackers, more reclusive and attuned to the wild than their high elf cousins: The wood elf ranger moved silently through the trees.
