Elves

Long enough to not be hidden.

Doesn't matter, being an elf is about style.

So we replace ears with pompous helmets?

I always thought the wings on those helmets were ear-sleeves.
Turns out I was wrong, but for a time, they were funny.

>elves
>no beards
Pick one and only one

Blame Tolkien, as usual. Only some special snowflake shipbuilder elf had beard in Tolkien's Magical Realm.
