The Brugh Elf is an elf subspecies that dwells in underground complexes beneath earth mounds known as “Brughs”.
A brugh elf has a slight build and is about the same height as the average Human. One usually has thick hair, which can be any color. Though a brugh elf shares the pointed ears so commonly associated with elfkind, its riotous hair often obscures this feature.
A brugh elf is generally capricious, quick-tempered, and indolent. Each can also be extremely vengeful for perceived slights, real or imagined.
In folklore, the brugh elf is known as a type of “fairy”, which can lead to confusion with other beings of the same name.
The average brugh elf wields a stone-tipped spear or shortbow. One is rarely armored, but when a brugh elf does wield armor it is fashioned from tough hides of exotic subterranean monsters such as the purple worm.
Brugh elves have a completely alien mindset and inherent magical abilities, so it’s not recommended that the GM allow them as a playable race.
