What are evil Elves called?
Today on Quora I found this question:
What are evil Elves called? It depends on the author, the franchise, the culture of the folklore’s origin, and other variables. Each culture, each folklore, each author, and each franchise uses different names, so it’s impossible to give a precise answer without knowing WHICH Elves, from WHICH culture, from WHICH folklore, by WHICH author, in WHICH franchise are you specifically wanting to know about?
Because you did not specify WHICH specific Elf franchise you are referring to, I’m going to answer your question by referencing my own Elves in my own books, and if you meant a different group of Elves, well, be more specific next time. Okay? Cool! So, let’s get to answering the question at hand, yes? Yes.
What are evil Elves called?
Evil Elves are called evil Elves.
An evil Moon Elf is an evil Moon Elf. Quaraun is an evil Moon Elf. Quaraun is a Moon Elf who murdered and ate the other Moon Elves, after murdering his wife and children. He later goes on to kill the Sun Elves, and many non-Elves. Quaraun is a serial killer and Quaraun is a Moon Elf.
Does this make all Moon Elves evil?
No, it does not.
And that is the note I want to take issue with.
You see, the question, as it is written: “What are evil Elves called?” is a very world of hats racist outlook, which implies that one race/ gender/ religion/ sexuality/ culture/ ethnicity is fully and wholly evil, because they are this or that.
It is like saying: “That woman is evil because she was born female.” Do you see how utterly stupid that sounds?
My Pink Necromancer books include a lot of species and a lot of subspecies, and a lot of races and subraces. Elves, Fae, and Demons being the most commonly featured of course, because the main character is an Elf and his two husbands are a Faerie and a Demon. Specifically a Moon Elf, a Phookan Unicorn, and a Sheep-Demon/half-Sun Elf.
While Moon Elves and Sun Elves are the prominent Elf races, there are well over a dozen other types including Wood Elves, Silver Elves, Crystal Elves, Snow Elves, Frost Elves, Cookie Elves, Blood Elves, Night Elves, Twilight Elves, Tundra Elves, Desert Elves, Marsh Elves, Swamp Elves, Volcanic Elves, Meadow Elves, Dark Elves, Light Elves, and many, many, many more. None is evil, but each has citizens that could be classified as evil.
You will note the inclusion of Dark Elves and Light Elves. I have had readers who thought Dark Elves = evil and Light Elves = good, and those same readers have been surprised when they learned, Dark Elves was the name for an Elf Religion that worshiped darkness. Aka they did all their activities at night, when it was dark out, and had religious beliefs behind why they did so. Likewise, Light Elves were a different sect of the same religion, they do their activities at high noon, when the sun is highest in the sky and the light is brightest.
Looking at the main character Quaraun, a very evil Moon Elf, and also a High Priest of the religion which worships the Moon Goddess. The Sun Elves on the other hand worship the Sun God.
Do you see the trend?
In my franchise, the Elves are divided up by their religious affiliations.
There is no race/type of Elves that is evil.
Individual Elves can be good or evil. A good Elf may do evil things. An evil Elf may do good things. Race does not = good or evil.
See, I deeply dislike the whole minority is bad trope.
I am a minority race. Specifically, I am a minority race that is vilified and the media of all types says we are evil. I am a Gypsy. And so I grew up being treated like I was automatically evil, simply because of my race, five decades later, I am STILL treated by everyone everywhere I go as evil by default because of my race, and this is why I have a hatred for the Fantasy media’s whole trope of X race = always evil, just because. And that is why I refuse to write such race = bad stereotypes tropes, in my own novels.
So when I see a question like this one asking: What are evil Elves called? I'm left wondering what sort of mind defaults to thinking a certain race must be evil, just because of their DNA?
No race is evil. Good and evil exist in every race. Individual people can be good or bad by their own personal choice.
If you write fictional races as only good or only evil, to my mind, that is bad writing, lazy writing, writing that does not try to give your characters personality or depth.
Just like real people, your fictional characters should each be unique individuals, not one stamp tokens.

What are evil Elves called?
I'm an author. This is an author home page. It's about me, my life, my books, my hobbies, my home town, and anything else that applies to me and my life.
Since starting my writing career in 1978, I have written 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, 6,000+ non-fiction articles (ALL are found on this site), a few dozen stage plays, 12,000+ blog posts, and a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck (I only worked for Disney one year (in 2005) and only wrote a few stories for their Danish comic books).
NOTE: I ONLY write the Quaraun series (aka The Twighlight Manor series aka The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane). In recent years there has been an issue with impersonators trying to pass books off as written by me, notably several non-fiction and Erotica books. I write neither nonfiction nor Erotica.
ALL of my books and their cover arts are listed on my website here. Beware of any books you find claiming to be me. If the books are NOT listed here on my website, they are NOT my books.
In fiction works, I specialize in Weird/Bizarro Tales set in 40th century CyberPunk-Quasi Medieval, Cozy Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds featuring an intersex Elf and his Faerie husband main characters. I DO NOT WRITE ANY OTHER SERIES - THIS SERIES IS THE ONLY ONE I WRITE.
Non-fiction (found ONLY here on my site) is daily updates of events in my life, and how-tos on how I write my novels.
I DO NOT write Erotica.
I DO NOT write books with HUMAN characters.
The Erotica books and books with Human characters, that you are finding, are written by scammers trying to impersonate me.
There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter. If you find any such books, please report them to FBI Agengt Andy Drewer @207–774–9322
