same here 
imo tolkin's idea is the most popular.
btw do the dark/night/drow elves come from mythology too or from DnD?
Drows are from D and D.
Dark elves and high elves, i dont think they are. coz they are in other things, like warhammer.

Woo... It's growing. The thread.
Manticores from Persia? I don't know about this, but I read that Manticore was running around in India, but even I can be wrong from time to time. 
And I meant the Hippo-creature. Water-horses.
Elves: At least the main-stream elves (aka Tolkien) came from Norse and celtic mythology (if I'm not mistaken). I dislike elves. Way to gay for me.
