===Elves===
[[Elves]] (singular: elf) are cannibal treehuggers, whose only redeeming quality is the effectiveness of elf bone bolts. In Fortress Mode, Elves may come to trade with your colony, offering herbs, clothing, livestock, and endless bitching about how many trees you've been cutting down. They will gladly accept payment in the form of gems or precious metals, but don't even think about presenting them in a wooden box. Despite being literal cannibals, the Elves view the killing of trees and animals as a serious offense, and offering them wood or animal products will [[Book of Grudges|seriously offend them]]. On the bright side, their exclusive use of wooden weapons usually makes Elven armies a pushover in combat, assuming they didn't bring a horde of [[Awesome|trained war elephants]] with them. If confronted with such a scenario, you must open your magma death trap and kill them all, or you will be [[DOOM: Repercussions of Evil|EAT BY ELFS.]] 

The only proper dorfy elf to ever exist is Cacame Awemedinade, an elf soldier serving in a dwarf-owned city who became king through a hilarious clerical error, then proved his worth by killing lots of things with a warhammer.
