I wish there'd be more scary elves
like there is this absurdly beautiful race, an alien morality, living hundreds (or thousands) of years, wielding powerful magic, communicating with nature and view humans as pathetic worms or pests- and that's not scary?
like a powerful elven wizard who just over and levels a city with a whisper because he didn't like the way it was built
or just walk into the woods during hunting season without a bow, which means you're prey and get eaten alive during the wild hunt
or elves just abducting kids for fun and abandoning them in the woods when they get bored

few elves come to mind who fit that description let's exclude drow and dark elves, that's easy mode
>maybe the correct term would be fae
>but when elves are descendants of or related to fae they're also related to the scary ones- and 'fae' is a pretty broad term
