		Elf [as the creature native to Antarctica] A cat-like monkey whose mature size ranges from one foot to one yard, found in nearly all temperate areas of the continent (they are not found outside cities in the northern extremes of the nation).
		Elfs, as the plural is spelled, generally walk on all fours, although they can stand on their hind legs, with grasping, opposable-thumb front paws (the rear paws are clawed; in most sub-species the front paws are clawed at birth, but the claws eventually drop off as the animal matures).
		Of all the animals existing in Antarctica, the elf is considered one of the most intelligent, and most human-like, and indeed nearly all Antarcticans live with one or several elfs.
