Do elves have body hair?

[Gez]

I still abide by my decision, in my next homebrew, elves and dwarves will be the same race. An elf will be a female dwarf, and a dwarf will be a male elf.

Still splitting hairs...

It is your campaign, you are GAWD. You decide. As to the poster who got the 5 sec bleep. I feel your pain. I got tired of "If it is in 'The Dragon', it must be True" folks even before I got out of high school. Now for those list creators, how listing each published campaign which answered the question. Please don't this become an another thread on how to pronouce "Drow".

Just askin'.

Not in my campaign they don't. Elves have hair only atop their heads, on their eyebrows and lashes.

Exception: Some Drow in my campaign grow beards and moustaches and have armpit/pubic hair, but even then, you won't find a hairy elven chest or leg in the entire Underdark.

I have to ask: at what point does this become important? Surely the DM can just say, "Use your imagination, the elf has hair wherever you want."

In Grotesque Tactics II: Dungeons & Donuts, they do. Wood Elves go au natural though.

Apparently seven years after the last post.

I have to imagine the Google Image results of that search are soul-scarring.
