Actually Elves being assholes is more true to their roots than the way Tolkien and most fantasy portray them. Elves aren't happy, singing, tree-huggers. Elves are the Fair Folk. They are invincible, immortal, magical beings on par with demigods. The word Eldritch (Used to describe Cthulhu and other disturbing monsters) actually means Elven. Elves aren't assholes, they're amoral spirits that prey upon all things in their forests, including humans.
