'''Type I: [[Elves in Space]]''' ''<small>(main article: [[Our Elves Are Better]])</small>''
 
Standard fantasy elves or [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|equivalent beings]] with [[Serial Numbers Filed Off]]... {{smallcapssmall-caps|[[Recycled in Space|In Spaaaace!]]}} These are surprisingly common in science fiction and [[Tabletop Games]] (compare [[Urban Fantasy]] and [[Science Fantasy]]). [[Ancient Astronauts]] may count as Type I if they are not merely ''mistaken'' for elves, but ''actually are'' elves [[Doing In the Wizard|who turn out to be an alien race]].
 
'''Type II: Enlightened Mystic Race''' ''<small>(main article: [[Proud Scholar Race Guy]] (Type II)</small>''
Line 76:
* The Loroi from the webcomic ''[[Outsider]]'' are Type I-B, blue space elves. Aside from being [[Blue Space Babe|mostly-female]] and psychic, they've got an explicit [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|"warrior elf"]] [http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider050.html thing] [http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider078.html going].
{{quote|'''Jardin:''' Ah, the old [[Good Cop, Bad Cop|"good elf, bad elf"]] routine. About ''fifty'' impertinent things to say raced through my mind...}}
* In the spanish webcomic [https://web.archive.org/web/20131109084934/http://www.afrikislife.net/eagerscout/ Eager Scout], Carl is a space prince elf...who travels along the sister of the most feared [[Space Pirates]] in the universe.

Line 83:
* The Abh in ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'' are blatant type 2's, with a good helping of [[Can't Argue with Elves]]—they're world conquerors and we're supposed to ''sympathize'' with them.

* The Guardians of the Universe from ''[[Green Lantern]]''. Not tall at all, but immortal? Check. Has incredible powers? Check (the Green Light that empowers the Corps). [[The Spock|Aloof and distant]]? Check. ''[[Can't Argue with Elves|Can't Argue With 'Em]]? [[Screw You, Elves|They'd like to think so...]]
** Also, an all-female offshoot of the Guardians called the Zamarons falls well enough into the [[Blue Skinned Space Babe]] variety.
