An
elf, in the
Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, is a
humanoid race, one of the primary races available for
player character. Elves are renowned for their grace and mastery of magic and weapons such as the
sword and
bow. Becoming physically mature by the age of 25 and emotionally mature at around 125, they are also famously long-lived, capable of living more than half a millennium and remaining physically youthful. Possessed of innate beauty and easy gracefulness, they are viewed as both wondrous and haughty by other races; however, their natural detachment is seen by some as
introversion or
xenophobia.
