FROM HABITS & HABITATS: A HISTORIC ACCOUNT OF ALPINE ELVES BY PROFES SOR, DR EBERHART LUDWIG FRITZ BAHNE

The name barbegazi comes from the French barbe glacée, meaning “frozen beard”.

The white beards of grown males often reach the ground. Female beards are slightly shorter. Both females and males use their beards as scarves, but whether the beards have other functions as well is unknown.

Similar to other species of elves, barbegazi have pointed ears, iron intolerance and limited magical abilities.
