Moon Elf in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Moon Elf
Often mistaken for Drow by the uninformed, Moon Elves are the secretive subrace of Elvenkind that dwell deep within the forests, hidden out of sight from all but the most perceptive and brave explorers. Moon Elves live in carefully hidden villages, usually in deeply shaded parts of the forest, though their temples and other religious sites typically are built in clearings where they can be bathed in the open moonlight. Moon Elves have more purple skin than their other kin, ranging from light lavender to dark violet, though light shades of blue are not uncommon Their hair typically ranges from a multitude of strange colors, with the most common being aqua, white, green, and dark blue. As part of their culture, moon elves often tattoo their face with simple patterns, and pierce their ears with intricate silver jewelry.
