List of deep elves
Template:Version This page is about the various deep elf monsters. For the player species, see deep elf.
The deep elves are a race of xenophobic subterranean beings with powerful magic, but most possess only mediocre martial prowess (though there are a few notable exceptions). They populate the Elven Halls, and can occasionally be found in the other Dungeon branches, especially in the Vaults.
