    Elves are a type of supernatural being originating from Germanic mythology and folklore, later appearing in various forms in different cultures' literature and media. Traditionally, they are depicted as being smaller than humans with pointed ears and possessing magical abilities. They are known for their closeness to nature and often portrayed as archers or artisans. In modern times, they have been featured prominently in fantasy literature, such as J.R.R. Tolkien's works, and various games where they often represent wisdom, beauty, prosperity, and longevity. In popular Christmas folklore, they are depicted as Santa Claus's helpers who make toys in his workshop at the North Pole.
