}}'''Elves''' (エルフ) are a race of graceful forest dwelling humanoids.
 
 
== Background ==
 
Elves are amongst of the 'Humanoid Type' races of [[YGGDRASIL]] that players can use as their game avatar.<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 01]] Chapter 1: The End and the Beginning''</ref>
 
 
Also, elves can be found in the [[New World]] and are separated into various groups based on cultural differences. As a race that is accustomed to nature, elves prefer to make their homes in the forests.
 
 
For instance, the largest known elven society found in the New World is the [[Elf Country]]. They have an average lifespan that is around a thousand years. Members of the elf royal family possessed traits of the old elves.
 
 
== Types ==
 
* '''Forest Elves''' or '''Wood Elves''': Forest elves are more commonly seen in the New World as they are known to trade and mingle with humans.
 
* '''[[Dark Elf|Dark Elves]]''': Dark elves are cousins of the wood elves that are far more isolationist and tend to live far away from civilization.
 
* '''[[Half-Elf|Half-Elves]]''': Half-elves are a mix between elven and [[human]] heritage.
 
* '''[[Wild Elf|Wild Elves]]''': Only mentioned in the Web Novel.
 
 
== Appearance ==
 
Elves are considered very attractive, tend to be slimmer when compared to humans. In addition, they have a pair of pointy ears which are far longer than normal humans.
 
 
== Abilities ==
 
Elves are known for their longevity and proficiency in nature magic. They also possess an acute sense of hearing.<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 07]] Chapter 3: The Large Tomb''</ref>
 
 
== Culture ==
 
Though there is very little information of common elven culture, they do possess a ruling class known as the Royal Elf Family. In the Web Novel, the Loyal Elf was a member of the Elf Royal Family who bore the special characteristics of the ancestral elves.<ref>''[[Overlord Web Novel|Overlord First Half]] Chapter 60: Settings''</ref> It is unknown what these special characteristics are specifically.
 
 
In this case, the heterochromic eyes that is believed to be special for elves in the New World. Several cases throughout the novels, characters from the New World express awe at this trait: [[Igvarge]] distinctly remembered an important detail about elves with heterochromic eyes, before he was killed by [[Mare Bello Fiore|Mare]].<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 03]] Chapter 3: Confusion and Understanding''</ref> Imina was gasping at seeing Aura's eyes. Lastly the three captured elven slaves of [[Tenmu]] have become absolutely loyal to [[Aura Bella Fiora|Aura]] and Mare.<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 10]] Chapter 1: Sorcerer Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown''</ref>
