Elves in literature before Tolkien often appeared in Norse mythology as light or dark elves, with characteristics that ranged from being helpful and benevolent to mischievous and malicious. They were also featured in Germanic folklore and were often associated with forests, magic, and immortality. In these earlier depictions, elves were typically depicted as otherworldly beings with supernatural powers and a close connection to nature.
