Editing Discworld (section)

===Elves===
The other major recurring villains of Discworld, and kind of the antithesis to the Auditors in that they represent a force of malevolent fantasy as opposed to cold mechanistic order.

Alien beings from a "parasite dimension" attached to the Disc, Elves are nasty creatures who naturally project a glamour that makes them appear beautiful and wonderful. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a lot of people forgetting how terrifying they actually are over the generations (aided by the fact that it was considered taboo to speak of them lest you summon them.) Imagine the [[Druchii]] without the edgelord aesthetics and instead of relying on knives<sup>1</sup>, racks, and hot brands to do their torturing they could get into your head and use whatever they found in there.  Weak against anything made of iron due to the element interfering with their ability to sense magnetic fields, which is one of their primary senses. Elvish mind tricks can work on essentially everyone that's unprepared to fight them, and only exceptionally powerful and skilled magic users can evade a focused attack from a powerful elf. However, this power is a double-edged sword: Without their glamours (and no elf would ever willingly drop its magical defenses while conscious) they're just foxy homonids that never left the Bronze Age. 

There are also a few mentions of more "traditional" elves on the Disc: these are not true Elves but instead [[Half-Elf|hybrids between Elves and the native inhabitants of the disc]], and pretty much just amount to normal people with pointy ears.

<small><sup>1</sup>This is not to say they aren't fans of knives per se, but mindfuckery is their preferred tool of torment</small>
