Elves, a word from Germanic mythology, are frequently featured in fantasy fiction. In modern fiction, particularly because of the influence from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, elves are modeled mostly after his original description: tall, human-like creatures of otherworldly beauty, with Kings and Queens. Along with this development, Dark elves are often modeled as a more sinister counterpart to the High elves, like the Drow or the Trow, which are the fairy-like dark creatures of Orcadian and Shetland folklore. The dark elves (Dökkálfar) or black elves (Svartálfar) are presented in Germanic mythology as dwarves and gray ones.

  • Les elfes noirs sont une forme d'elfes appartenant à l'univers médiéval-fantastique, assez sensibles à la lumière, et qui restent par conséquent le plus souvent dans des lieux souterrains et fermés. Ils forment un peuple fier, noble et hautain qui aurait une aversion particulière envers les elfes, aversion qui pourrait se comprendre par le fait que les elfes eux-mêmes les auraient un temps durant traqués pour les tuer, croyant qu'ils étaient une aberration qui n'aurait jamais dû exister. (fr)
  • 다크 엘프(일본어: ダークエルフ)는 판타지 소설이나 테이블 토크 RPG 등에 등장하는 가공의 종족이기도 하며, 많은 경우 엘프의 근연종으로 여겨져 엘프가 기위는 높지만 인간에게 우호적인(혹은 무관심)인 반면 인간에게 해를 끼치는 존재로 묘사된다. 또한 엘프와도 적대하고 있는 경우가 많다. (ko)
  • ダークエルフは、スノッリ・ストゥルルソン著『散文エッダ』に記述される「闇のエルフ(デックアールヴ)」(古ノルド語: dökkálfr)の英訳名。「黒エルフ(デックアールヴ)」も、これと同一視される。 ファンタジー小説やテーブルトークRPGなどに登場する架空の種族でもあり、多くの場合はエルフの近縁種とされ、エルフは気位が高いものの人間に友好的(あるいは無関心)であるのに対し、ダークエルフは人間に害を成す存在として描かれる。また、エルフとも敵対していることが多い。 (ja)
  • Gli elfi oscuri o scuri sono in molte ambientazioni fantasy una particolare tipologia di elfi generalmente improntata alla malvagità e con la propensione alla ricerca del potere e agli atti moralmente deplorevoli. Solitamente, il ramo degli elfi oscuri viene generato in seno alla popolazione elfica in seguito a delle guerre civili. Essi si rivelano spesso come il culmine delle piaghe del mondo, la "punta di diamante" del male, in quanto utilizzano tutte le elevatissime capacità e conoscenze che si attribuiscono la maggior parte delle volte agli elfi per arrivare ai loro fini, senza assolutamente curarsi delle razze "inferiori". Hanno origine dai miti nordici, precisamente dalle figure dei Døkkálfar e degli Svartálfar. (it)
  • Mroczne elfy to fikcyjne, występujące w wielu grach i utworach fantasy istoty pochodzące od elfów. (pl)
  • Тёмные эльфы — родственные эльфам расы разумных существ в мифологии и различных фэнтезийных мирах, в основном обладающие злым мировоззрением. Часто их отделение от остальных эльфов связывается со стремлением к тёмной магии, которая извратила их. Обычно у них тёмная или синяя кожа и седые или белые волосы. (ru)
  • 黑暗精靈,在許多神話和奇幻設定裡是指邪惡的反派精靈族,通常和其他精靈爭鬥。 (zh)
