Deep elves are the elves of the underworld. They have pale bluish skin and dull hair, usually completely white or completely black.

They cultivate mushroom forests where fungi will grow as large as trees. They use the mushrooms for their toxic, medicinal, and psychoactive properties.

Deep elves keep spiders as pets and livestock.
