The 5th edition Player's Handbook describes Corellon as "androgynous" and
These elves can choose to be male, female, or "neither" based on their moods or feelings. Dungeons & Dragons, at least the most recent Fifth Edition, has made it clear that players don't need to be "confined" by binary notions of gender.
The elves of Norse mythology have survived into folklore mainly as females, living in hills and mounds of stones. The Swedish älvor were stunningly beautiful girls who lived in the forest with an elven king.
Often elves do not possess facial or body hair, are not portrayed fat or old and are consequently perceived to be androgynous. As a race, Elves are more ancient than humans or other races, mentioned to have flourished in a sort of Golden Age which has been forgotten by other races.
most depictions of elves have them as either neutral or matriarchal, and on most settings, I think they are.
So yes, Elves are androgynous, and there is less of a physical difference (in size, strength, voice etc.) between male and female Elves than between men and women.
From Old English elfen, ælfen (“nymph, spirit, fairy”), feminine of elf, ælf (“elf”); by surface analysis, elf + en (feminine suffix).
Did You Know: Elves are conditionally fertile? This means that they can only produce children when population pressure is low.
Traditionally, many character races in D&D have been defined to have a race with whom they share a mutual hatred: elves and orcs, dwarves and goblins, and gnomes and kobolds, for example.
Half-elves may mate and breed, but will always produce the offspring of the other parent (a Half-elf/elf pairing will produce elven children, while a Half elf/human pairing will result in human children). Second generation Half-elves only result if two Half-elves marry (as is the case in Aglarond).
Lune and Rune are the most popular, but Iune, Lyrune, and Tarune are runners-up. (Note: Faerunian elves don't normally use D or F or hard-K to begin names, so there're no "Dune" or "Kune" monikers, and "Ph" is used for F.)
Aside from their small stature and tall ears, an elf might look very much like you and me. There would be both male and female elves. They would wear clothing similar in style to Santa's wardrobe -- since it's cold in the North Pole, they'd sport pointed caps, warm suits with white, fluffy trim and pointed boots.
Well, we went to the fine folks at the Elf on the Shelf Customer Service department and here's what they had to say about Elf on the Shelf reproducing. To answer the burning question, no, Elf on the Shelf can't have babies.
Elves view the sexual act as special and intimate, for it leads to the birth of children. Elves who are married cannot be forced by other Elves to have sex; before that they will lose the will to endure and go to Mandos. Elves have few children, and there are long intervals between each child.
They Can Only Bear Children When They're Young.
Elves can only conceive during their very early years. And on top of that problem, most couples will never be successful in bearing a child. Elven biology is just too fickle. Thus, humans will always be able to overpower this Elder Race by sheer force of numbers.
A half-elf is a mythological or fictional being, the offspring of an immortal elf and a mortal man.
Like elves, half-elves are typically neutral, rather than good or evil, but are more likely to be chaotic in nature than their human or elven parents.
According to Tolkien, there were indeed evil elves. Or at the very least, ones who did evil actions. One example of this is Fëanor and his sons. All of them swore an oath that meant they would not let anyone take the Silmarils from them.
The drow (/draʊ/ or /droʊ/) or dark elves are a dark-skinned and white-haired subrace of elves connected to the subterranean Underdark in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. The drow have traditionally been portrayed as generally evil and connected to the evil goddess Lolth.
“Laws and Customs” tells us that most Elves get married in their youth (like right after becoming an adult), and during peaceful times, they often choose one another when they are still kids and/or adolescents.
Children are not allowed to touch them.
Elves are very fragile, and if they are touched by human children they lose their magic and ability to communicate with Santa.
Santa advises that no family member touch their Elf on the Shelf, but he does describe a few rare instances when an adult may use tongs or potholders to help an elf in an urgent situation. Parents: read on to learn about special, few and far between cases where emergency help will be required.
Arwen is described as the “most beautiful of the last generation of High Elves in Middle-earth,” and can summon powerful water spirits. She goes out of her way to always help those in need as well. One of the more important things she does is unite Elf and Man in peace again, like Beren and Lúthien before her.
((EDIT: Although ti's very possible - even likely, that menstruation wasn't actually a monthly cycle. Elves rarely even counted in years (preferring centuries), let alone months.)) So, long story short, I'm pretty confident that elves do menstruate.
But here's the other important thing about them: Tolkien's elves are monogamous. And I don't mean culturally. If The Lord of the Rings were a science fiction setting, we might call it a biological imperative. Elves mate for life and do not remarry.
