[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8760293, member: 58172"] According to the recent descriptions, such as Monsters of the Multiverse, the playable Eladrin is humanoid, not fey. But there are "fey (elf)" Eladrin in the bestiary. Even so, the first elves are celestial, not fey. So perhaps, humanoid is the most applicable creature type after all. This humanoid type relates to somehow entangling the fates of the humans in the material plane. Hypothetically, the playable creature type would allow a choice of humanoid, fey, or even celestial. But then why not Shadar-kai be shadowfell "shadow" creature type? And if so, why not let the elf choose any creature type, maybe especially elemental as beings of soil or sun? At this point, one might as well stick with humanoid as the default for every elf. So rather than a Celestial Ancestry, or a Fey Ancestry, the Elf is simply a Humanoid who is "Fey Touched", which seems an accurate enough description according to the various elven traditions.
