Quote - Another thing to keep in mind, even if a fantasy race has old folklore roots, their specific fantasy characteristics may be of more recent origin. That also has a potential of being a copyright issue.

I think that's more on the "err" side. Originally elves (AFAIK) were from norse mythology, vessels of the gods, and they were usually very strong and more wild... It seems Tolkien made them that way, slender and pacifists, and still you see them like that in a bazillion fantasy settings without copyright issues.
