I wish I had an answer anon, but I feel you. Elves have all the traits of a great antagonist. They're ancient race of magically potent immortals who are profoundly racist, enslave weaker species. They're faster than humans, have better aim and eyesight than humans, and are more beautiful to boot. And on top of all of that, the oldest traditions hold that their view of the world was so alien that the word "eldritch" arose from the word "elven"

Frankly, elves could eat humans daintily and it wouldn't seem out of character. They just don't consider humans that different from the other things that *evolved* like animals

/sffg/, if my setting has a large number of sentient animals, can I get away with not making any of them aside from their leaders into characters?

I have about three or so ideas for animal characters but I feel like I'm crossing a weird line even though I've read and enjoyed plenty of series that had talking animals in the past

some of us are actually writing them, even if they are writing slowly and not very well.

I'm reading furies of calderon. It was a slow start but I'm actually getting into it. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it this much

anon, as much as I wish I could I can't bring back the magic. However, if you're looking for some YA that feels similar, I want to recommend the Underland Chronicles to you. Suzanne Collins may be famous for the Hunger Games, but this was honestly her best work. Maybe it's no surprise that I'm basically plagiarizing it.
