Do elves have body hair?

The True Elf

The hair on the heards is actually feathers modified for display

Just kidding, they're just very, very metro and don't produce a lot of testosterone.
And what's with the female beard hatred? I think its pretty funny and dare I say it, hawt.

Let's watch the language, Fishbone. - Rel

I guess that means we can't make the obvious joke regarding the male half-orc, eh?...

DnD races nude from elfwood. Not porn, but still NSFW I think.

Nope... I didn't think so.

Did you know that humans and chimps have about the same number of hair follicals? The thing is, since humans have adapted in ways disparet than chimps, we has lost the 'thickness' of that hair, and most of our body hair (other than that which grows when we are capable of sexual reproduction, like underarm hair, facial hair, arm/leg hait, pubic hair, etc) is now very fine, adn light. exceptions remain, of course (I know my cousin is cursed with a wookie on his back ) but the majority of us don't have very noticable body hair, per se.

So, point being, I think elves do have body hair, it's just it is by far finer then humans hair is, and is thus almost un-noticable to the casual eye.

YMMV, of course

But I've never been fond of the metrosexual, androgynous, effete and uber elves that tend to be pushed on us by those those who want to recreate the semi-divine Tolkienesque superelves.

As an aside to this thread, it's been my experience that those who equate 'Tolkienesque' elves with gay, androgynous, effeminate pantywaists have never bothered to actually read much about Tolikenesque elves. Like Peter Jackson, for example.

Yeah, the Book of Lost Tales: Elves Scratch Themselves and Discuss Chicks is great.

I don't remember if I said gay or the not so nice term for a gay person. Oops. Anyhow, believe me, I did tone it down and I did watch the language. I despise elves and I hope they all die in fires.

This is quite possibly true. I admittedly haven't read Tolkien since I was 6 or 7, and various attempts do read it again have met with failure. It's just so damned dry.
I was using the reference as 'tollkienesque' more out of convenience, as so many people roll those descriptions up as tolkienesque.

I still mourn the legions of people who "hate elves", almost all of which seem to stem from some power-hungry fanboy-crazed dork who decided at some point that elves were the easy out for making their own personal super-uber-allpowerful fantasy wank.

Some catchphrases for the non-metrosexual elves out there...(courtesy of http://www.grey-company.org/Maerdyn/resources/translator/index.cgi).

"Dos ph' natha ligrr nesst!"
"Morfeth ussta tangi!"
"Xun dos satiir du'ased?"
"Gaer zha dosst char'riss!"

and of course,

"Inbau ilta xunor!"

That's right up Munin's ... err, alley.

No. Elves do not have body hair.


Also, female dwarves do not have beards. That's just a dirty slur against the Race of Durin.
