== Anime
* Elves in ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'', ''[[Those Who Hunt Elves]]'', ''[[Rune Soldier Louie]]'' and many other imitators of ''Lodoss''. Dwarves, such as Ghim, have smaller, less pointy ears that look a bit more humanoid.
** ''Lodoss War'' was the [[Trope Codifier]] for "jigokumimi" on elves; that specific style of long, tapered ear bled into ''every'' following depiction of elves in Japanese media and even into a large number of western productions, most notably [[Warcraft]].
Line 56:

* There's Moloch in ''[[Watchmen]]'', but it went totally unacknowledged there as well as in the film (and was much more subtle).
* Several comic books in the ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]'' feature characters of an unnamed species, very humanlike but with pointy ears. Fae, Aleco Stusea, and that one girl who was an obvious [[Expy]] of [[The Legend of Zelda|Princess Zelda]]. We don't hear that much about the latter two, but Fae was said to be a thousand years old, and was believed (at least by [[The Obi-Wan|Obi-Wan Kenobi]]) to be immortal.
