:That probably has something to do with their considerably high modifier value (20). Off of the top of my head, I'm not even sure that elves have a multiplier to begin with. ...

Seems like it's both a lot more durable than wood and a lot better for usage as bed material to me...but then again, beds being a wood-only object has always rather irked me. ~ [[User:Midna|Midna]] 06:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes and no. It is a real creature. It is also a joke. --Ikkonoishi 18:31, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
