Elves are a recurring race in MS Paint Adventures. They are characterised by their tendency to wear pointy hats, and usually have pointy ears to match; gay pornography also tends to cause them to cry tears with powerful properties. Elves are usually proficient in magic, and may be considered a kind of fairy.
In Jailbreak[]
Elves first appear in Jailbreak, where they can be summoned by not knowing how to read ancient spell runes (whether it is possible to summon them by actually reading the runes is unknown). These elves consider the flesh of the young a delicacy (but are also perfectly happy just drinking tea), and may use their magic to grant wishes to any who provide them with this. Some of them have spells carved into their bellies - either as a helpful mnemonic or a really strange circumstance of birth - among which animal communion is sometimes included. Perhaps due to their magical ability, they are difficult to defeat without a high pulchritude statistic.
In Problem Sleuth[]
First appearing on a painting in Pickle Inspector's office (which also contains another painting of elves playing poker), elves inhabit one of the imaginary universe's four kingdoms, alongside the weasels, hogs and clowns. The weasels covet their eggs - which are kept in arboreal nests - and the elves in turn covet the pies made by the clowns, encouraging Problem Sleuth to help them steal the pastries from the clowns' cottage windows as part of the Quest of Spirit to grant him awareness of his Female Alter Ego. This all contributes to the plight of the four kingdoms, which the Sleuth is then expected to help fix with the signing of a treaty.
Prominent elves[]
Elf exemplar[]
Representing the elves at the peace summit between the four kingdoms is an elf exemplar. This exemplar also liases with Sleuth on his spirit quest.
Elf mage[]
The elves' representative among the Four Heroes is of course an elf mage, who uses his natural elf affinity for magic as well as a magic wand to cast ice spells and bop his fellow heroes on the snout.
In Homestuck[]
Trolls on Alternia seem to be familiar with the concept of an elf, with Karkat Vantas suggesting that John Egbert's bright green ectobiologist's coat makes him look like one (and with John later agreeing). Andrew Hussie calls leprechauns elves, while Caliborn prefers the term gnome, which Aranea Serket says may be accurate according to some specialists of the zoologically dubious.
Given that Jane Crocker associates gnomes with colourful pointed hats, it may be that gnomes and elves are actually the very same creatures; however if the implication that leprechauns are homosexual by nature is true, it is unknown how this can be reconciled with elves' well-known instinctive aversion to homosexual imagery.
