Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings", elves are modeled mostly after his original description: tall, human-like creatures of otherworldly beauty, with Kings and Queens.  Along with this development, Dark elves are often modeled as a more sinister counterpart to the High elves, like the Drow or the Trow, which are the fairy-like dark creatures of Orcadian and Shetlandic folklore.  The dark elves ("Dökkálfar") or black elves ("Svartálfar") are presented in Germanic mythology as dwarves and gray ones.
