There are some people who think that dwarves and elves are the same, but actually, they are not. Elves are known to be taller than dwarves. They are also known to be very slender, which is very different from how dwarves are usually described. There are actually some people who may put these two characters as elementals that fight each other.
Dwarves are known to be resistant to magic, which is something that elves have. At the same time, dwarves can use the magic of their own too. Elves will have the tendency to use different weapons to protect themselves. They are known to use swords and even bows. They are usually portrayed as elegant and flexible creatures.
